Gentlemen:

I ran across several small round boxes of Berdan Primers. can anyone tell me how old they are and a possible value?

The round cardboard boxes say:

Zundhutchen fur patronen mit central zundung Flachbodig rosifrei von vorzuglicher gute
rhein westf sprngstoff act. ges. vorm. h. utendorffer in nurenburg bavaria unfehlbar von reinir atzferier zuendmis

I tried babelfish translation but they only hit a word or two....

Thank you

Wow! ..... an early morning challenge.

Not that we're getting too picky here but there's obviously alot of literary license involved here since I can't see the package up close .....

This what I can make out of it at a 1st stab.

Zündhütchen für Patronen mit Zentral Zündung Flachbodig Rostfrei von vorzüglicher gute Rhein Westf Sprengstoff act. ges. vorm. h. utendorffer in Nurenburg Bavaria unfehlbar von reiner ätzefreier zuegnes

Translated should mean:

Primers for center fire cartridges flat-bottomed rust free of excellent ware Rhine Westphalia Explosives act. sat. of. H. Utendorffer in Bavaria Nurenburg unfailingly pure non-corrosive origin.

Absolutely no idea of potential collector value.

I need another cup of Coffee.

WOW! Thank you! Danke!
