Some old caps and primers

[[email protected]]

Many years ago, I found these at my long passed grandmothers house, she had no idea how they got there, but seeing as she was born in 1904 and her dad was a beat cop in Seattle around that time and may have been known to shoot something on occasion its possible they were his, but unknown.
One nearly full tin of Winchester No. 2 1/2 LR primers and one tin of UMC caps, the white tin is much later of course and its empty. I keep it in my Colt 1861 box for decorative purposes.
Just cool old stuff.

Be interesting to see if they will still go off
Back in the 1950s I used to buy ELEY caps, in unopened tins for very little, had I been able to forsee the future I’d be selling them today for a ridiculous profit

Those tins alone look really neat!

Hammer test will tell if they're any good.
