Vintage reloading components, value?
I have 8 un-opened boxes of .224 bullets about 60 years old, they are marked " .22 Cal. SISK Bullets, EXPRESS, 49 GR. SOFT POINT, made by R.B. Sisk, Iowa Park, Tex." quantity 100.
Anybody have any idea of the value of these or their collectibility. If I were to post them on the Gunbroker auction what category would best suit them?
I also have some real old Hornadays and a box of "Jackson" soft swaged bullets, all old as well.

There is a market for them but they don't bring much, if any, premium over current offerings unless they are in unusual diameters or weights. You could offer one of these for perhaps 150% of current retail and see what happens. I'd try both the reloading components headings and collectible ammo. With all the advances in projectile technology in the past 60 years, especially the past twenty, the commercial offerings now match - and often exceed - the advantages Sisk and others were able to offer the public over their commercial counterparts "way back when" . . . while on the cusp of collectibility, it is more of a nostalgia item than anything else.
