Of the the Five boxes

•  Two full-legend boxes (top left and bottom left): “WINCHESTER / 9m/m PARABELLUM / 64-CARTRIDGES / FOR USE IN Sub-Machine Guns,” with the W.R.A. Co. mark and “Division of Western Cartridge Co., New Haven.” These are the collector pieces.

•  Three plain cartons marked only “9m/m PARABELLUM CARTRIDGES 64,” two with later yellow “9mm Luger” stickers and one with red ink (“W.S.” and a date-style note). Those are the common inner or later military cartons.

Condition on all of them is fair and used: soiling, edge wear, and tape residue. None look sealed or near-new.

Looking at recent comps online I found one:

•  A full vintage Winchester “for use in sub-machine guns” box is about $70 retail at Checkpoint Charlie’s (50-round version). A dated 1942–43 full box is listed at $200, which is an asking price, not a sale.

Just my opinion, the realistic U.S. range, as they sit:

•  Full printed box, complete and original: about $40–80. Early headstamps (1941–43 WRA) and clean cartridges push the top of that; a shop might ask $100–150.

•  Empty printed box: about $15–35, as a display piece next to a Sten or Luger. Or add a zero if from one of our crazy eBay sellers 😀

•  Plain 64-round carton: about $20–40 if full (mostly the ammo), $5–15 empty.

As a lot, if all five are full and original, figure roughly $150–300 at a gun show or local sale, maybe $350 if the two labeled boxes check out with matching WRA rounds. If they are empty, the two printed boxes carry almost all the value, about $40–70 together.

The photo only shows the tops, so contents, headstamps, and whether the rounds are original to the boxes are the difference between the low and high end. A side shot of the end flaps and a cartridge headstamp would tighten this. Old military 9mm is a collector item first; don’t assume it is safe to shoot without checking the primers and cases.

The devil is in the details and as always, the value of collectibles can vary wildly by the market you choose and the pool of buyers. Bottom line in my opinion is “Do Not” let your daughter shoot them! They are collectible, a nice conversation piece and should increase in value.

Didn't mean to start a thread and walk away, just got busy with other things.
Haven't done anything with the 9mm, I'll have to find time this winter to deal with them.  Never occurred to me that they might be too hot for modern handguns, I'll pass on giving them to my daughter to shoot.  Same lot of stuff these came from, got a few thousand modern 9mm, so she can shooot those up for a while.
  

I’ll buy a box when you’re ready to sell them.

Post us a video of it doing whatever it does! Assuming it's motorized given your pics...
  

Jeremy, I tried to attach a video before but it didn't work. I will try again tonight after work. Thanks
  

Jeremy  if you go to the top of the page just above the first picture, if you click on that, you can see the video... I think, it worked for me anyway.

Welcome Phillip,
I wish I could be more help, as it's something that most of us probably haven't seen, but here's a place, in Spirit Lake, Iowa, that might be able to help you a little bit about it. You could also try Jennifer Gole who is on the WACA Board, and has dealt in a lot of Winchester accoutrements.

Good Luck in you're pursuit.

Thank you Tony,  I really appreciate you taking your time to give me the information you have! Hopefully I have a unicorn on my hands.

Thanks, Phil

Anthony, I'd never seen the existence of that replica store in Iowa....pretty cool!
  

Jeremy,

I'm pretty sure, that I first saw it in the Winchester Collector, a few years ago, that Jenifer Gole did a story on, and  I just can't remember which issue it was in.

I also thought it was pretty cool, and how this couple dedicated they're life's work and property to this adventure. Many don't realize how much Winchester was into so many household products, besides the firearms. More Winchester History.
