Period cartirdge box labels??? (bullet stencils)

[Dakota Widowmaker]

Is there an internet archive where one could dig out original style bullet stencils for different calibers?

I want to make some cartridge boxes for my 38 long colt conversion and was wondering if one already exists.

You might want to Google "cartridge box collectors" of some similar quest. I have come across photos of shotshell boxes that were in collections so there might be similar ones for cartridges.

Iffin ya find some good photos let me know. I am a pretty fair graphic artist & can retouch the pics so they can be printed out & used.

I'll give ya the resulting images gratis... Of course I will be using them too!

Try Rattle Snake jacks web site.

He has some great Clip art that I've used on labels.

Thanks Bow View,  I downloaded the "Currency" font.  I needed that and had lost it with a computer crash.

Qball, I tried to go to the web site you indicated, but somebody pulled their plug on Oct. 30, 08.  I wonder if they will be back??

Dakota Widowmaker,
I think a friend of mine has an early box of .38 Long Colt cartridges. If he does, I'll borrow and scan it for you.

There are cartridge pictures and some boxes on this link, but no pic of a cartridge box for the .38 Long Colt. THere are a couple of group cartridge pictures though.

Found 2!
Both boxes have been sold ($850 & $875!) so the links may not be available much longer.
