nosler partition - red box collectible ?

[ansayre62]

I just received a box of 7mm nosler partitions in the original red box (45/50 count). Is there anybody out there that collects bullets that know if they have values as a collectible (if, so how much)?

When would those have been made? I have some that I bought in the '70's and the box was black.

The red box is from the beginning in 1948. I saw a picture of all the boxes on-line earlier today but can't find it at the moment (was a very interesting article).

ironically it is on the berger site :

The nosler partition boxes are shown. "Not just the boxes of Nosler Partitions have changed over the years; the bullets have as well. (The red box is
from Nosler's first shop in Ashland, Oregon.)"

I would suggest that in 1948 the 7 mm would be less plentiful than other cals since the 7mm rem mag originated in 1962.
