Some nice old Frankford arsenal ball rounds there too. I bought into a box of that stuff one time at a show, still have some to dig out and photo...nice.

I use UHU paper glue in a stick form to re-attach labels on my cartridge packets that have come adrift its easy to use as its not in liquid form its a bit like say a lip balm stick .

Must have been an interesting job stamping the letters on "W" and "R" primers! ![Bash](images/smilies/bash.gif)

What was the purpose of the band, a different type of crimp?

Jim, where's the fun in that?
Live on the 'wildside' and monogram live primers!
P.S. - It is fun to see the array of early & identified .30-40 cartridges. Some are rarely seen. Thanks to those who posted photos!
