    Fairly scruffy wasp no.1 tin - worth anything?

    Not a tin collector, any of the wiser ones know what this is worth?

    Around £4-6 in my honest opinion, but you would stuggle to sell it in that condition. In good clear average nick with a few pellets then £10-15+

    This is a 1950's tin of which there are still quite a few around, mint and full of pellets it may go £35-40 on a really good day, with the odd one shooting up to near £60, or selling for as little as £20 due to listing / ending variations.

    Hi Trev, I get what you are saying, but I could not resist these which were tatty on the outside, but still sealed so good shooting lead inside, nothing like shooting 85 year old ammo out of a 103 year old gun
