Covering the 100 years that Winchester and its predecessor companies - Volcanic Repeating Arms Co., and New Haven Arms Co., which produced cartridges in New Haven - this is the first detailed study ever done on cartridge boxes from the era of the modern gun. Coverage includes all the calibers for which Winchester, including Volcanic and New Haven Arms, catalogued every rifle model (other than .22 rimfire), from 1856-1956. Drawing on never before seen company records and correspondence, as well as interviews with old-time employees, the authors have unearthed a wealth of new and significant information on this under-researched, and fastest growing aspect of gun related collectibles. It is unlikely that the incredible number of varieties of Winchester cartridge boxes pictured herein 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.
