In a package deal at an estate sale I bought a few hundred mostly high base paper shells (empty hulls). Winchester mark 5, Remington express extra long range, Federal. Canadian CIL. Both 2 ¾ and 3” hulls. The original shooter must have been a duck and goose hunter in the 50’s – 70’s.

I’m not sure what to do with all these empty paper hulls. Do they have any value to special groups ( SASS, reenactors, folks with old doubles that want to do vintage loading?? NOTE: these are empty hulls but can be reloaded.

Should I just toss them in the dumpster and stick with loading modern hulls?

The Remington hulls may use 57 size primers, making them more problematic.

Vintage shotgun-shells for vintage shotguns. Get yourself an old model 12 Winchester and shoot some clays with that stuff. We can still use lead for upland game around here.
 
I'd consider them worthless.
There are lots of good reasons why no one uses paper shells anymore.
They lost all their value when they were fired.
