    collectable pellet tin.

    Hi anyone around please who knows what is collectable?
    I have discovered in my garage an old and rusty empty tin of 500 Eley wasp pellets in 177. the tin is blue with a black wasp in the centre. made in Birmingham. The tin is lined inside with a thin green felt ,I have not seen this before. Anyone know if its worth putting up for sale.
    When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

    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 think that one of the most collectable pellet tins are the green squarish Webley special pellet tins, I think one is advertised for £36 have another look in your garage for one
