Ammunition Boxes September 15th, 2009

These vintage ammunition boxes have the classic American woodsman design that makes you appreciate the use of great fonts and illustration. Certainly much has been discussed with workwear and hunting gear, but ammunition boxes of yesteryear were so intricately designed from the choices in colors, layout and packaging materials. This great selection of older shotgun cartridges shows the effective use of heavy text in design that has been lost in recent years with many companies opting for the cleaner, minimalist looks. It would be great to see more products make use of such a classic design.
