From the esteemed Canfield Collection, this offering includes 20 full boxes of Peters 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot, each containing 25 shells, totaling 500 rounds, all neatly housed in an original Peters Cartridge Company wooden shipping crate measuring approximately 15" x 9" x 9". These shells were produced by Peters Cartridge Company, one of the major ammunition manufacturers supplying commercial and government markets during the WWII era. Though this crate is a commercial Peters crate, the shells themselves are of the type issued for military use during the war, particularly for trench and riot shotguns like the Winchester Model 1897 and Model 1912. Each box remains in well-preserved condition, with crisp labeling and visible markings consistent with 1940s production. The wooden crate is a collectible in its own right, bearing bold Peters branding on the side panels, and showing honest wear and age-related patina. Its compact size and authentic vintage construction make it an excellent display piece.
