Description

Covering the 100 years that Winchester and its predecessor companies, Volcanic Repeating Arms Co., and New Haven Arms Co., produced cartridges in New Haven, this is the first detailed study ever done on cartridge boxes from the era of the modem gun. Coverage includes all the calibres catalogued for every rifle model from 1856 to 1956. Drawing on never before seen company records and correspondence, as well as interviews with old time employees, the authors have unearthed a wealth of new and significant information on this under-researched, fast growing aspect of gun-related collectables.With over 1,400 pictures, all in full colour, this book also includes a Pricing Guide and a Rarity Guide. It is unlikely that the incredible number of varieties of Winchester cartridge boxes pictured will ever again be assembled for presentation to the collecting public. Whether you want to date your collectable box or determine which box would be appropriate as a contemporary display piece with your Winchester rifle, this is the book to own.
