Guys,
I have a .276 Pederson box dated 1929 (I believe). Any ideas on what the empty box might be worth, if anything?

Thanks,
Rob

Likely "not much." However, most of these list a case & bullet type on the front label . . . which flavors are present on your box?

Didn`t figure it was much. This box is marked

20 CARTRIDGES, BALL
CALIBER .276
Powder IMR 25 Lot 1324 Cartridge Lot 21

Empty cartridges should be cared for and disposed of as prescribed in paragrapgh 29, A.R. 775-10

Drawings PD42 ands PC50
Manufactured at Frankford Arsenal, 1929

OK, Brac, these are the most common combination, basically the "final" loads (although a little further experimentation was conducted) used for evaluation of the system, trials & the like. Might could bring $10 - $20 if in real nice shape. If beat to heck as most are, $5 +/-

Please define "A.R. 775-10". I'd like to find a copy of it.
Thanks,

I'd guess that AR 775-10 refers to Army Regulation #775-10 as it was in effect in 1929. The US Army had regulations prescribing the disposal of fired cases from the very beginning of cased ammo, No idea where you could find such a thing. It probably doesn't read much different than regulations before or since.
