    Rust de values the tin obviously. I have rusty tins myself, personaly I would just pass it on to someone who would use the pellets.

    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

    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.
