I knew you'd know. So that makes me pretty smart also, right?
Appreciate the info my friend !! And yes, I'm finding out as I peruse "Collector Ammo" info that I just may have one hell of a treasure trove. Got a little bit of research to do. So far I can't find the pink boxes, but I did find some Frankford Arsenal that looks similar.
Well now, it appears this is from 1917 during WW1 and going for around $125 a Box. And yes, all of mine are full. That's pretty awesome.........

No. 1 WORLD WAR ONE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMSCOMPANY US ARMY ISSUE .45 CALIBER ACP AMMUNITION PACKETS – FULL PACKETS - CARTRIDGES HEADSTAMPED 1917: Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company at the point the United States entered World War One, these packets were produced under contract to meet the anticipated need for ammunition by our soldiers in Europe. Winchester produced packets are very desirable and are one of the more difficult packets to find.
Examples of these .45 ACP cartridge packets from World War One survive in very low numbers today and have all but disappeared from the collectors' market.
These three packets have identical labels with the same loading data, indicating they all came out of the same production run. One packet is open to the point that the cartridge headstamp can be seen - "W 17" - indicating the cartridges were manufactured by the Winchester Company in 1917. As the other packets have the identical label data, it is safe to assume all three packets contains the same "W 17" headstamped cartridges.
No. 1A WWI WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY US ARMY ISSUE .45 CALIBER ACP AMMUNITION PACKET – FULL UNOPENED PACKET: This full unopened packet retains a very good, legible label, “20 Pistol Ball Cartridges, CAL. .45 MODEL OF 1911”. There is some very minor wear to one spot on the bottom edge of the label, but it does not affect the printing in any way. The packet is full form and both of the cloth pull tabs are present and intact. There is some minor storage soiling on the bottom panel of the packet, but the rest of the packet is clean. Containing "W 17" headstamped cartridges, this is a scarce packet in excellent condition to add to your display. (0129) $125
No. 1B WWI WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY US ARMY ISSUE .45 CALIBER ACP AMMUNITION PACKET – FULL UNOPENED PACKET: This full unopened packet retains a very good, legible label, “20 Pistol Ball Cartridges, CAL. .45 MODEL OF 1911”. There is no wear to label, but the top panel on the left end has been lifted slightly, probably by a previous owner who wanted to view the cartridges. This minor separation does not affect the label or the integrity of the packet in any way. The packet is full form, both of the cloth pull tabs are present and intact, and the packet is very clean. Containing "W 17" headstamped cartridges, this is a scarce packet in excellent condition to add to your display. (0130) $125

This packet has not been opened, but the top panel on the right end has been lifted for approximately half the length of the packet, probably by a previous owner who wanted to view the cartridges. There is some minor wear to the label on the far right end, but none of the printing on the label is affected in any way. The packet is full form and both of the cloth pull tabs are present and intact. The top panel has some storage soiling but the rest of the packet is clean and fully intact. Containing "W 17" headstamped cartridges, this is a very respectable packet to add to your display. (0131) $95

Good day today. The right kind of supervisor at work, making 10x the hourly rate I did a couple years ago. Then dinner with Mama for her birthday at a fancy pants supper club. Sure is fun to make sure the balance is $0.00 when you have $200 in gift cards.?
Well if anything, he's predictable. ?

I think that was the first Heinlein novel I read. Then I read everything else....
BTW: All you whipper-snappers need to read the Startship Troopers novella... VERY good... and somewhat timely. (The movies were crap.)

I have, so far as I can tell, his complete works. Gotta love used book stores.
Fair was fun but this stuff is way more fun.
This is a yearly shoot that a couple buddy’s put on. Hand full of class 3 weapons dealer here with some fun toys.
The 1919 was converted to 308. With the stubby barrel that thing is crazy loud.
Paratrooper m249
Unfortunately the mg42 did get up and running.
4 selector switch HK MP5
This is a 3 selector switch Scar. It was a kick in the ass to shoot.

Ended up taking the beeper out. Didn’t have time to find where the sensor is. It’s usally on a manifold jnder the cab. It wasn’t there and all the wiring checked out
Low air sensor should be on the head of the air compressor. Should have 1 wire going to it.
My view was kinda sad yesterday. I tore down my kids tree house. I’ve had it for almost 20 years. My kids have spent many days playing in it, by themselves, and with friends. My daughter, whose now 18, would still go up there occasionally, for a little alone time. But she leaves Monday to go to college. ?
Yesterday was made a little better, because Mudbugs Hockey preseason started yesterday afternoon, with a scrimmage game, and a couple preseason games next weekend.

Today's haul from the garden. Pie pumpkins and assorted peppers. The ghost peppers are doing great this year.
Just keeping an eye on the mow crew.
So happy he found a couple Cows to hang with. Was getting nervous.

View around here should improve in a few hours when the hot tub is delivered and installed. Got the tv mounted, just need to make a platform now to get the bar fridge to a place I can reach. Might also need to add some outdoor heating and furniture to the area, overnight temps have been getting close to freezing here lately but should start to rise again soon. Pics in a few hours.....
As long as there are women wearing thong bikinis or nothing… Will all be happy. ?

Unpacked and cleaned up a couple old Fly Rods. I remember fishing Trout on some Streams with Dad in Northern CA around some old Gold Mines.
The one with the Reel is Metal. The Reel winds up and the you have a retrieve button and a drag. Still has a leader tied to the line my Dad tied. Rest his soul. Reels aren't worth more than maybe $15 Bucks, but means the world to me. Great memories hiking in with him and fishing and exploring the mines in the 60's. Dad would take off and Pan Gold with orders not to catch the Red Dogs/Salamander 's. ? He hated having to take'm off for me cause I'd end up killing the damn things. DON'T KILL THE RED DOGS SON! ?
The other is made from Bamboo, I think. Not really certain. Beautiful piece and it was in the Metal Tube with Brass ends and a beautiful maroon felt/cloth sack. Shoulda gotta pic. Maybe when I get home.
Gonna display them in the Reloading Room.?

Amen brother!
Keep your Dad's things visible and in your heart.
I have my Grandpa's old Marlin/Winchester 97 hanging on the wall. I also have Dad's long bow hung up and a pic of dad over my loading bench.
They bring back great memories.
Exactly Mike. I'm at that stage where I know NOBODY will appreciate a lot of what I grew up with more than I, and I love looking at it, so out it comes........
I've got some pretty cool stuff handed down from my Grandfathers, Mom and Dads, that I doubt will be coming out for display. Some of them aren't $15 Dollars.
It's been a long winter and summer, lot's going on in our lives. After 3 days of crappy wet weather the day dawned bright and sunny. About 7:00 PM decided to take the AI .308 out and shoot some distance. The first stop was the 1050 yard gravel pile but there was a herd of beeves just a little to close for comfort. Headed a mile NW to the Grain Bin rocks, 717 and 907 yards. Got all set up....
... an realized I'd forgotten the tool bag of shooting bags. Old school sand in a sock tonite, still works just fine. Started with 717 rock, 5.4 mils up no wind. High and left, down .4 and R .5, solid hits for 8 rds. Moved to the 907 rock, up 8.3 added .2 right wind, spot on.
On the left side under the tree is the 717 rock, on the right just to the right of the second to last tree is 907. What you don't see is a the 6 -8" rocks that litter the berm. Spent 20 rounds dancing around them, even dislodging a few. All this is 5 minutes from my front door.
Happiness is a pile of empty brass.....
The last week has been a tough one. On Wednesday the 21st our youngest daughter called, her husband had been admitted to Sanford hospital palliative care. His two year struggle with brain cancer was coming to a end. We went and, along with his family members and good friends sat with the two of them until he passed at 10:50 PM the 24th. Service is this Friday, hopefully the healing can begin, for our girl it's going to be a long road.
On a much better and brighter note, this Friday The Child Bride will start the second, and last, course of preventative chemo to treat a strain of non-hodgkin's lymphoma called Burkitts. We are hoping and praying by the middle of next month we will hear the "remission" word. It's been a long 8 month journey to get to this point but our future does look better.
One last comment before I ramble off for a Bud and a book. Men, if you love them, tell them and tell them often. Hugs are free and should be dispensed as often as possible. Life can be sudden and frightening, each day is a gift.
Fine'.

Thank you sir, we are taking care. I've not talked about this online at all, my stoic German/Scot bloodline likes to keep things inside until there's a resolution.
One thing I forgot to mention, if you look closely at photo #2, at the bottom of that low spot in the stubble one will see small black specks. These were some Canadian honkers that were feeding. They were still there when I left. Shot right over them.
Pics still to come but very impressed with the hot tub so far. BIG glass of Longbranch, a couple of decent cigars, something worth watching on tv and of course, good company, aches and pains are greatly reduced. Back to the hardware store tomorrow to get materials for drink holders, ashtray holder etc.
Still need to do power outlet etc for tv and add side tables for drinks.....
@barneybdb just order one of these and run a funnel/tube into it.
Also, in a real emergency, it's there.
Bury it a few feet away in case you have to take a dump in it.

@sandwarrior Snakes as promised.
Son killed this one on his way to go fishing yesterday afternoon. 1.25oz of #5 did a number on him. No head, no fangs to worry about. A really pretty snake, but had to go...
He took a phone and not a radio. I couldn't get him on the phone (service sucks here), so headed to check on him. On the way back I see this big bitch about 75 yrds from the one he killed. 230gr golddots are not as dramatic as a 12ga, but works good enough.
Son likes to keep the rattlers. He did flinch a little when the blade touched muscle and the snake started jerking (head was pinned down...). He was a little pissed I wouldn't let skin the pretty one out. If it weren't a school night I would have.
Damn rattlers!

Should have tossed him in the fridge. They skin just fine when they’re cold
Which she would need to do to fix Creeky a sammich.
And this is why a man needs a beer fridge in the shop......

Yep, you have to put up with my hockey stuff for another season.

Don't have my son this weekend.
Got up at 8. Shot a box out of the 22 ate breakfast. Went fishing at the pond no luck. Walked the 80 picking up anything they hit when cutting hay. Sprayed the brush on the pond dam. Sprayed the weeds in the yard. 4.5 4 gallon backpack sprayers.
Hand dug a 18in by 4 to 12in deep ditch 25 yards long along the drive way to help with run off. Lunch at 4.
Shoot my dads AR. 100 180 and 275 yards.

Mudbugs are way more than beer leagues but your right they are. I spent a bunch of years in Senior A Industrial leagues and it was real fun.
So the Wife has decided to put the Deer to good use. She untied her vines and has relegated them to pruning detail. She's ecstatic. That means I am too.?
