Vintage pellets

[comanche 2,799]

I came across this little box while sorting out my Dad's shed.  Still with the 2/6 price tag and virtually full of pellets.

Yerr, I bought a 500 tin from that little gift shop near Southend pier for my Webley senior. Still about 400 of ‘em left

I stand corrected, looks like I’ve used about 400 of the Caledonians. Found a few more of the old classics as well..

My that photo brings back a few memories 

                   We used to buy Marksman pellets and 10 no 10 fags when we were skint. 

                   If the boss let us work Sat morning that would become 10 no6 fags and Eley Wasp pellets

I know it’s a bird off the list these days and rightly so but Jesus Christ, them lot above were absolute Starling bashers... from an old chinky B2... paid for, by cheque, and delivered by pat by the post, for 35 quid a week later. Rotten rifle, but the foundation, along with the lead above that, probably, to be honest, is why we’re all on this forum to this day. 
 

The good old days them were... Quite literally, compared to the times we’re living now.
