Looking for a pointer to a forum for shooter/reloader collectors. I bought a couple tumblers locally which included a box of reloading trash n junk. Said trash n junk was piled into an old wooden box. I have been sorting through the junk the last couple days and just realized the wooden box is an old Dupont shipping container. It faintly says DUPONT "Smokless Powder for Small Arms"., on front and back with just DUPONT on the ends.
I just reviewed 334 listings on fleabay and found half a dozen listings for Dupont-Remington Shot-shells/Ammo, but nothing for Smokeless Powder. That implies it's somewhat rare and may best be no longer used for storing/moving junk (still holding an inch of green growing assorted shotshells, ammo and brass). The box measures 10.5 X 21.75 X 6". The sides are nailed to the ends (no dove tailing), the bottom boards are tongue and groove nailed on, no lid/top, but there are nail holes where the top was nailed in place. It's pretty old but not ancient. Has a lot of patina (looks real rough).
I am not a collector, and got a pretty good deal on the items I wanted/bought. I'd like to find someone who wants and appreciates it for more than a junk box.
