Tin of BSA Pylarm No.1 - junk shop find

[chieffool]

FINALLY....I've actually managed to find something of value in a junk shop (i think they call them 'Antique Shops' nowadays - but still full of junk).

An apparently full tin purchased today for a whole £1 !

Eureka!!!!

QUESTION: At the risk of displaying my ignorance - roughly what age are these?


Personally - going to enjoy plinking in the garden with them in my first batch 1905 LJ. .....bliss....

Would have already if it wasn't so bleeding cold. They seem a lot smaller than the RWS Hobby i normally lob down the garden with my treasured ancient BSA.

presumably lighter too?

Nice find.

This style of tin was first advertised during the 1960s and I was still buying them during the 1980s. The pellets are the exceptional Eley Wasps of old and will go in old BSA/Lincolns very well.

I've just realised - based on my last 10 or so threads, that whenever i 'raise' a question on this forum - invariably it is your good self (selves?) that answer.

Just wanted to say thanks...
...maybe i should just email you direct instead... {kidding

Exceptional bargain for £1. If these were in an Eley Wasp tin they'd be about £8-9. The BSA tin would attract a slight premium.
