I remember those! Nice find! Looks like you have some old Sellier-Bellot in the case too? I remember home hardware selling them but my memory tells me they weren't much of a shell.

Those Imperials were the shell of choice on the farm in the 70s/80s. We lived near Buffalo Lake in 'duck and goose central'.
I remember my dad also had a few really old 12g shells with cardboard casings. IIRC, they were purple and had an image of a tiger on them. Anyone recall what brand that was?

When you were earning $3500 a year, $3 boxes of shotshells were not that cheap.
It's not the same dollar.

Yup, 1969 I worked cleanup at a 2wk sawmill shutdown, 2.70/hr. Bought a deluxe version 870 12ga for 104.99 with my paycheck. Then worked weekends doing cleanup at the planer mill, bought a Parker Hale 1200 7RM with the fancy stock on it for 175.00. Still going to high school, living at home.Sometime in 1970 I traded the PH for a BAR in 270win at Woodwards in Kamloops.

I think that Woodwards box is a real looker.
Someone should make up some t-shirts with the front of that box on it.

Even says Woodwards on the headstamp.
That is pretty nifty.
I still can't help as to who made that shell, but thanks for posting the pictures.

Dominion Cartridge Company ( Later named C.I.L. after several mergers)
made the house brand ammo for Woodwards and the T. Eaton Company .

What, no 577/450 or .577 Snider rounds? How un-Canadian!
