Winchester Western 257 Roberts Standing Bear Box
Description: Offered for sale is one full box of Western Super-X 257 Roberts cartridges with 100 grain Controlled Silvertip Expanding Bullets, in the very desirable and colorful Standing Bear Box. Vintage 257 Roberts ammunition is extremely rare such that neither this box nor Winchester's Crouching Bear Box are shown in Giles and Shuey's excellent Winchester Cartridge Boxes book 1856-1956, because they did not have a box to photograph. Additionally, we seldom see any vintage 257 Roberts ammunition offered for sale. Western Cartridge Company purchased Winchester in 1932. In 1940, the silvertip bullet was introduced in these Bear Boxes and there is an excellent description of the silvertip's construction on the reverse side of the box. WW11 broke out in December 1941 and there was very little ammunition available for the civilian population as most of that production went to support the war effort. Consequently, the only ammunition available to the civilian population was that ammo purchased before the war and most of that ammo was used for hunting during the war years. The pictures show the condition of the box and ammo much better than I can describe them. Considering it's rarity, this box and ammo are in excellent condition. By buying this ammunition, you are certifying you are over 21 years of age and there are no federal, state or local laws prohibiting your purchase or possession of this ammo. Ammo can only be sold in the lower 48 states. Some states do not allow on-line ammo sales, unless you have a state issued exception form and you are responsible to know your local laws. Therefore, ammo will not be sold in the following States: Alaska, California, Chicago IL, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington DC. Ammo sold for collector purposes only and not sold where prohibited by law. Ammo can not be delivered to a P.O. Box address. I will ombine purchases to save on shipping. SOLD |
