This Western Cartridge Company manufactured yellow, blue and red cardboard box contains all 50 rounds of Super-X long range extra clean wax coated 22 Short ammunition with nickel cases and copper washed, hollow point bullets and is in very good to near excellent condition with light wear. The product code "K1209R" is printed on the front panel. The bottom of the box displays "MADE IN U. S. A." and the ownership lines "WESTERN CARTRIDGE COMPANY, East Alton, Ill.,U.S.A. / Division of OLIN INDUSTRIES, INC.". The end flap warning reads "RANGE / 1 MILE / BE CAREFUL". The nickel casings display the "SU-1" headstamp and have a light tarnish present.
Date of Manufacture: This style box was introduced in 1953 and may have been produced as late as 1956.
Note: This box is similar to the Huegel # WCC-8 S-2 variation. The differences observed are that this box displays blue printing as opposed to black, "SUPER-X 22 SHORT (H.P.)" is all printed in capital letters on the bottom of the box, and the bottom of the box does not match Huegel's sample photo due to this being a 22 Short Hollow Point box.
This box is SHP-20 in Huegel's Super-X Checklist.
