HUNTING AND HUNTERS COLLECTIBLES WINCHESTER REMINGTON WESTERN PETERS
These custom shot shell displays are true sporting art examples featuring authentic, mint-condition, factory-loaded paper and reloaded all-brass shotgun shells from as early as the turn of the 20th Century.  Our uniquely crafted displays include the very finest examples of paper color, brass design and graphics used by North American shotgun shell manufacturers in the earliest days of shell production.  For example, some of the shells commonly used in our displays include the first 3” paper shells ever produced, copper-plated steel based shells from WWII, factory lacquered papers from both Canada and US manufacturers and shells with exceptional graphics (“Super X”, “Deluxe Target” and “Arrow Express”).  These shell displays have become a favorite wall accessory for hunters, competitive shooters and shotgun shellbox collectors alike and will look great in your office, den, retail shop, or on your fund raising auction table.   ANTIQUE SHOTGUN SHELLS HUNTING WOOD SHADOW BOX

All shell brass is highly polished and lacquered for lasting brilliance. The shells are mounted in glassed wood shadow boxes of either Walnut or Poplar using the highest quality plush black velvet, or richly textured suede, or linen fabric mattes.  Each display comes with a shell list attached to the back of the display naming the shell manufacturer, gauge, shell line and the period in which each shell, used in the selection, was manufactured.  Displays come ready to be immediately hung on the wall.  The smaller displays can be used as a wall accessory, or displayed on a shelf, or desktop.
