The photos below are of a portion of the author's Father's Cartridge Collection. The collection consists of cartridges ranging from 17 caliber to nearly 80 caliber. Back in 1974, the author selected all unique cartridges from the total collection and each cartridge was polished and sprayed in clear lacquer and then arranged by caliber in the Cartridge Case. The lacquer coating has endured extremely well after 32 years.

Each thumbnail below shows the 10 cartridges of a row of cartridges in the Cartridge Case. You may click on any thumbnail below to make the large photograph appear below the thumbnails. There are buttons above the photograph that allow you to Zoom In and Out. There are buttons below the photograph that allow you to go to the next or back to the previous photograph. Zooming is most effectively performed by clicking on 'ZOOM IN' or 'ZOOM OUT' and then pressing the return key repeatedly as desired.

Note that after you finish Zooming on a particular set of cartridges, you will need to click Refresh/Reload on your browser to avoid distortions when Zooming on a different set of cartridges.
