Looking for a shell box

I'd like to find a 16ga shell box from the era of my A grade, c. 1924, for photo purposes, etc. If anyone has something they'd part with for less than the price of my left one, please contact me. Thanks.

A 1924 vintage box of 16-gauge shells is going to be pretty spendy if it is nice enough for photo purposes. This box of Western Record shells from 1929 or 30 went for over $300, yet a similar box in 12-gauge with one shell missing recently went for $79 --

A 1924 vintage Western Super-X box would be like this --

but I don't have a picture of one in 16-gauge. The second style Super-X box of the later 1920s is like this --

So that would be a "no" then?

This is one of the best places I know to find what you need. It is a while 'til the next auction, but what you want will probably be there.

In the last Ward's auction, a really nice two piece full box of the Western Field 16s with the quail on the box like Dave pictured, went for $193.00. Shipping to the East Coast from Ward's has been painful if you only buy one box of shells.
