My secretary heard me talking about dove hunting and said she had a bunch of shells that were her husbands. He passed away a few years ago. Luckily he was a pheasant hunter! Notice the price on a couple of the boxes ($3.97)! Looks like I may be switching from my 20 to my 16 for opening morning!  What do you know about this Peters stamp on a few of the older shells?

Ah Gibsons, we bought everything there, Walmart of the 80s, even found deer leases and quail leases at ours but the best place was TG&Y they sold the guns too.
