Approximately 55 shotshells, including 3 brass hulls and 4 cutaways showing stacking of shot, wads, and powder, in gauges ranging from 4 Bore to .360. Approximately 73 rounds for rifles in pistols, ranging from .22 rimfire blanks all the way up to .450 Nitro Express. 4 tins of primer caps, 6 tins displaying shot sizes from 5 to 9. Components are artfully arranged around central "ELEY / AMMUNITION" with monogram. CONDITION: Excellent, with no signs of restoration.

Good coloring and legends on cartridges are easily legible. This is a really lovely cartridge board ready to hang!
