Old 22LR ammo

[Effnjeff]

I have some old 22LR ammo, and was wondering if it has any collectors value.
The oldest stuff is WW2 vintage ‘.22 INCH MARK 1 (NON-RUSTING), there are three complete boxes of 100 cartridges, dated 1941, 1943 and 1944. One box is sealed, but another has ICI headstamp, the last has E headstamp.

Next there are three full boxes of fifty Imperial 22 Long Rifle High Velocity Hollow Points. Headstamped D.

Lastly there’s a box and a half of 22 Eley High Velocity Solids.

I could just plink them away, but I’m wondering if the WW2 stuff in particular might have some collectors value?

Hope it doesn’t have much value as I’ve given buckets of that same stuff away over the years I inherited!

Tbh - it’s unlikely to have much value as it will have to be sold at auction with all the complications and commissions

Oddly the empty boxes do sell well on eBay. As to the ammunition that's a gamble. Do you really really want the buggeration factor of a bullet stuck in the barrel? I've sold empty 16 Bore /I\ marked SSG boxes on eBay for silly money to collectors of Home Guard memorabilia. It's just how you describe it in the listing to get attention from the best bidders. Me? I'd list the Eley and the military stuff as empty boxes and enjoy shooting the Canadian stuff. Dominion aka CIL was excellent quality ammunition in its day and should still be OK.

That's great info thank you both.
I must admit I was already wary of shooting the military ammo due to worry about the bullet not making it out of the barrel.
The CIL ammo does look very well made and I shall enjoy checking it out.
