Is the brown box the oldest?
Quote from: 45flint on September 08, 2020, 06:10:07 PMIs the brown box the oldest?From what I understand, the brown box is the first box they made...1923. The other small box is from the mid 1920's and then the large box that most have seen was around for some time
Neat!Do you have any photos of the pellets? This thread inspired me to do a little research and I found that Crosman (purportedly) used the same die to form pellets for many decades.These threads have some sort of peripheral information - https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2016/05/the-rise-of-the-accurate-pellet-part-2/https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2017/02/why-cant-they-get-it-right/"Pellets were the keyThe 1960s were not a good time for airgun pellets. The choice for a U.S. shooter was either Benjamin or Crosman, and neither pellet was particularly good. That is what set us up for the discovery in the mid-1990s (with the introduction of the venerable Crosman Premier) that the 160 was really a red-hot target rifle. That is when it all came together for this model — about two decades after Crosman had ceased production!"Stay safe,J~
The yellow boxes are the only ones I have that are full and not wrapped up.I do have another Crosman Brothers box that has pellets in it, but that box is wrapped up to preserve it.. so no idea what's even in it.
