Old Brass Shotgun Shells

[Colonialgirl]

Along with an Old Parker Brothers 10 Gauge Double Barrel under lever shotgun**; I also inherited about 6 or 7 old Brass 10 gauge shot gun shells. A couple of them have "new" primers in them. I'd list the manufacturers of them, But for the moment I can't remember exactly where they are stashed.
I'm just wondering what kind of value they'd have to a collector.

**Note: The shotgun has currently been loaned to my brother for display on the wall of his home. It's has old "London Fine Twist" Barrels and I'd be afraid to fire it with any load .

Probably 5 to 10 apiece depending on condition and rarity of maker. I used to gather them up at gunshows and now have quite a pile. Brass shells can be obtained new from Brazil via Midway and a skilled machinist will make them for you. In an article I wrote titled A POOR MAN'S 12 Bore I used brass and paper shells some old some new and some machined. Hope this helps.
