I have the following from a friend's estate:

R11 = 1 box
R12 = 10 boxes
R21 = 7 Boxes
R19 = 6 boxes
Mohawks = 4 Boxes
Wildcats = 5 Boxes
Powerflights = 4 boxes
Rem "High Speed Golden Bullets" = 3 boxes
Rem CB Caps = partial box of 71 out of 100
Remington "Standard Velocity" green, red and white LR = 1 box
Remington "Standard Velocity" green, red and white Short = 1 box
Eley CB Caps = 1 Box
Remington "Rocket" 22 shorts = 2 boxes

Any idea as to the value of this lot?

  Collectors are usually looking for boxes in excellent shape without bar codes but some with bar codes are also collectible. Check the various auctions and look at what sellers are asking and getting.
  
  If you don't care where you are going, you can't get lost.

  David, with these boxes the key will be the condition. None are particularly unusual / valuable. You don't specify if any of the first four codes are HP or shot nor if there is a letter suffix (e.g. R21L), so presuming they are plain LR, an average value, sold individually, would be $5 a box *in mint condition*. The Mohawks, Powerflights (unless very early), Goldens, are shooters. Wildcats if the blue box, $10ish, if the white, $2-$3. The Standard Velocity, $4 maybe. Rem CBs partial hard to say. Eley CB I'm guessing maybe $10, could be more? The Rockets, if this is the 'Chicklet pack', up to $20. Again, if the condition isn't brick fresh, these numbers plummet very fast, as these boxes are not at all hard to obtain. And these are soft numbers, based on the assumption you sell them individually at retail. Most are worth some premium to market, but not enough to be excited about.
