Nice finds. Your flea markets are much better than ours here.

Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
I got a bit lucky. I ran into a fella who had bought some old military surplus and he overheard me talking to a seller. He said he had a couple boxes full and a couple of wooden crates full of old ammo he had no use for. Went back to his place and bought it all. All kinds of old stuff in here. I'll take some pictures of the whole thing and post them.
Looks like you have a heck of a start on cartridge board.
Great find...I like Plate plinker's idea...make a nice cartridge board with the old military cases you found.
