I bought these pellet tins. Are any of these an uncommon tin or a lucky find? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pellet Collection Bargain or Bust?

I'm sure to SOMEBODY , they could be worth $$. But having had a PB cartridge collection for years, most of the value is the box/ container. Personally ,I'd enjoy shooting them & just hold on to the containers for a possible sale later.

It is fun to shoot old pellets , i have several tins of old Eley and RWS . YES some tins are worth $$ but best if full of original pellets
looking for old Sheridan or Benjamin box but i am not a collector

Cool collection. That looks like a huge rabbit hole. Could put them in a display. Would look good in a man cave.

That looks to be a nice walk through pellet gunning history. I do recognize most but not all of the tins you have presented.

I have many of the same ones, some I have never seen before. Since you are a collector, match the tins with the air guns that match the same era. Build nice wooden frames for the guns and matching tins, and hang them up somewhere. That should be a neat project that will take a little time to complete.

Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, my opinion is most of those tins are relatively common. The two in the upper-rightmost corner are the most interesting/least common (in the U.S.). Some of my own mostest favoritests-

Novel & fun being a good reminder of HOW FAR the pellet gun specification & fodder have come these past 50 years or more.
While interesting dust collectors on a shelf for those inclined to care, beyond that value is minimal IMO.

The airgun collector's name was Marshall Brodsky, he posted on AGN as "Springer". I bought a few airguns and the pellets pictured above from his collection.
I do not think any of these pellet tins are especially rare or valuable. The Sheridan pellet tins will be displayed with Sheridan airguns as set.

Nice collection. I believe the Berman silver jets and Beeman perfect rounds might sell for a premium to a curious person for shooting (vs collector) purposes. Perhaps 2 to 4 times the value of a premium pellet made today. And then maybe the lead BBs tins could be bundled and sold together, attractive to someone needing those.
