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 calibers cataloged for every rifle model
from 1856 to 1956. Drawing on never before seen company records and
correspondence, as well as interviews with oldtime employees, the
authors have unearthed a wealth of new and significant information
on this under-researched, fast growing aspect of gun-related
collectibles. With over 1,400 pictures, all in full color, 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 collectible box or determine which box would be appropriate as
a contemporary display piece with your Winchester rifle, this is
the book to own.
