After losing these pellets for 10 years in our last house move, they've today made a reappearance.
As I'm having a clear out, I'd like to sell them.
The tin is completely full, top of tin in good condition given the age. Pellets are a bit oxidised though.
Are they worth much? Picture in a moment or two as I'm posting via my phone.
Cheers

I wouldn't be at all suprised if that made £25+ on the auction site.
PS interesting it has a different address to this tin.

As Garvin says, should be £25 easily, have seen them nudge high £30's or more on occasion and prices seem strong at the moment.I think the max I have seen for a minter was around £60.
Re. the address, the other tin is 20 years or so earlier and contemporary with the 1930's / 40's paper label Wasps tins, whereas the o.p.'s tin is early-mid 1950's in period, and again is contemporary with the screen printed Wasp tins below with "air rifles" on. (the 5.6mm marked ones are later).

One of my favourite tins these big blue and yellow .22 X 500's.
Yours looks a bit grubby, a light wipe and buff with some car polish just to remove any stains might really transform it, but some collectors like them "as is".
