Is this stuff desirable at all? I've seen some ads selling it as "vintage". I ask because I have three ammo cans full of it and really don't need it. Unfortunately, when I put it in the cans I tossed all the boxes without knowing they might be worth something It's all high brass stuff in good condition ranging from 1B to I think #8.
If I had to guess I would think it's from the late 70s or early 80s.

No idea, that's what I was wondering about. I wasn't sure if it's something worth selling or not.

Re: Older Winchester Super X/Super Speed ammo
I might be interested, older ammo, especially shotgun shell, don’t bother me to shoot. I have fired some paper shell shotgun rounds my grandfather had, with no issue. The good thing about shotshells, is they won’t stop in the barrel, in the event of a Squibb. They simply roll out of the barrel.
I don’t place any extra value to old shotshells though, I won’t be using them to decorate with. Birdshot, will go in my bird hunting rotation, Buckshot will be used for SD(after test firing several rounds) as long as they haven’t been overly exposed to extreme temps and or humidity, they should be usable. I have rounds that are at least 15-20 years old that I won’t hesitate to use.
Brand new #6, 7.5, 8 bird shot are running about 25-30 cents per round. Buckshot runs approximately 85 cents to $1.25 per round. (Bulk price)
If you are just looking to get rid of your stock, I might be interested, at about 50% of new prices.
