Hi All,
Did anyone see the price that a pre-war Webley Junior box sold for on the famous auction site Item No 300286345832 ?
It seems the boxes are sometimes worth as much as the contents, I suppose it's due to the survival rate.

Apparently.......there are some "re-manufactured" ones about too.. Members be aware!
Hello ,
Its not just a cardboard box . ( No , its not an M&S box either !! )
A packet of pellets = £5.00
Webley brochure = £25.00 ( ?) If its original ?
The box then is £67.
Someone with a really nice Junior to go in it ? Priceless.
Collectors ? We have all been there .
Regards,
Sam
A few months ago a couple of pellet boxes (eley black boy) went for well over the hundred mark...I collect pellets, but draw the line at way below this.......a 1890,s german utendoerffer box might struggle to reach 10 euros, so its not a case of rarity, ......perhaps eley collectors are more wealthy (have seen eley early catalogues go for £130 plus)
As the box concerned was for the pre war wood/tin grip Junior, and had a catalogue with it as well, that was a reasonable price.
When in employment I used to have a client who made the fancy cardboard boxes for M & S food items, fruit pies etc. All hi tec computer stuff so I imagine it would be quite easy to get a few dozen Webley pistol boxes run off, providing you had a pattern! Now there's a thought!!
