Hi anyone around please who knows what is collectable?
I have discovered in my garage an old and rusty empty tin of 500 Eley wasp pellets in 177. the tin is blue with a black wasp in the centre. made in Birmingham. The tin is lined inside with a thin green felt ,I have not seen this before. Anyone know if its worth putting up for sale.
When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

Being blue it should be .22 not .177 so perhaps a printing mistake maybe? That would make it more interesting to collectors. The green lining I’ve not personally seen but maybe someone added that at a later date if the tin was repurposed. I’ve had tins come along that have included non Airgun related bits and pieces and a few that still contain traces of tabaco. Be great if you could add a photo or two
Has not one but two workbenches in his shed
It should garner some attention as the tin collectability came up when researching them (my Webley Falcon is a fan), probably not an amount you can retire on though.

I have a near full tin of old wasps in .177 in the red tin but there’s some rust around the threads on the tin I’ve shot a few and they’re a nice snug fit in the bore.

If the wasp is coloured, it's older and collectable.

I think that one of the most collectable pellet tins are the green squarish Webley special pellet tins, I think one is advertised for £36 have another look in your garage for oneOriginally Posted by Peter Dunkley

I may only have 5 but I have the best 5
I was looking online for information last night about that tin, Tony
Possible that it dates to late 20s or 1930s
It will look good along with my BSA Standard

Ooo-er; I thought it would be early, but I didn't realise it might be THAT early, Pete.

That's only a little preliminary research Tony
But as I noticed Sunday it has ICI on it not ICM which I have seen on others
It's just going to be the tin I use when shooting the Standard or any other old .22s I get
