    Looks like they're at least 30 years old.

    I'm planning on doing just that. I got ten boxes of these and ten of a similar vintage boxes of Norma on the same deal. Think I paid about $20 for the batch. I'm not planning on loading them, I've got so much 9mm brass I'll never get to let alone mess up these vintage ones.
