is that what they are worth now m8? reason i am asking as i got a few tins of .22cal from around 1992 see. just wonder what they are worth. why are old wasps worth so much now? is it cos they aint made by old manufacturer anymore so are now collectable? cheers chris

ELEY Wasps are no longer made by ELEY since [??]

my 8 original red tins (.177) are marked ELEY Birmingham B6 7UT

my original blue tin (.22) - only got 1 - is marked ELEY Birmingham B6 7BA

both have a 'wasp' logo in the centre of the lid


the new blue tins are marked ''Wasp'' but a 'somewhat' larger logo located towards the top of the lid, with a printed barcode underneath the logo
and are marked ''bisley uk.com

on appearance - they are of a poor quality
I've read - but no experience - that they shoot like s***

collectors - or people like me who just want to add an original tin for their pistol case - will obviously look for a genuine tin

It is all about WHAT are the original Wasp pellets , in my opinion the ones below are the original ones.







They are dated 16 DEC 1957 ....... and are NEW old stock!
I even have the paper packed 5 tin stacks with the info who REALLY made them.

well that's the first time I've seen some really earlier Wasps

thanks

nevertheless..

my tins are clearly manufactured by ELEY - at a later date perhaps..? - doesn't make them any less ''original'' ELEY
