Found a time capsule at the gun show today!

Feller had this on his table and I just had to have it, some cool stuff and a really cool box! Had to give up a whole 56 bucks but I couldn’t help myself it was coming with me!! Overall a great day at the show found the box and an old set of colt grips for a Police Positive and my daughter who is my sidekick (5 yrs old) also scored her and I two friendship bracelets and she got a cute little sterling silver ring! Awesome wrap up to the weekend!!

Very, very cool! Congratulations!

Great deal and a great day with your little girl!

I've got an unmentionable made in 1912 if you need one for those grips

 

[Kansas Jake]

A great score. So much fun to dig through a box like that. Great times with your daughter. Does she have dibs on anything in the toolbox?

You could peddle some of that Hawken stuff at the classic in Aug.

If those cap tins are full you maid the purchase of the day.

I checked and it is not my box. But it sure looks like it!

The box will sell for more than you paid for the whole thing around here. I have two "UMCO" aluminum boxes similar to yours. Nearly indestructible. Congratulations.

Well bought, lots of goodies in there. As the old saying goes, "Gold is were you find it".

My guess is the box and contents belonged to a pretty serious shooter who has passed away, and widow or one of his children were not shooters and put it up for sale to make a few bucks.
Kinda’ sad, if that’s the case, but at least the contents went to someone who appreciates them and will get good use from them like the previous owner.

You found a treasure and you have a treasure Don't blink little girls grow up fast, mine is 40

You certainly did find a treasure. The box and contents are worth far, far more than you paid for them.
