Have a very large foot-locker of brass waiting for me at mom's house, but found this medium flat-rate box on my door step full of once fired 30-06 and some .45 thrown in for good measure.  Need to find me one of those SS media tumblers.

On a visit back home, months after dad had passed away, mom said that she found a box under the basement stairway.  I investigated the "box" and found a large wooden crate, about three times the size of a standard foot locker full of .45 and 30-06 brass, both large and small primers and stamped:
LC53 and LC63 - Lake City Ammunition Plant, Lake City, MO






RA43 -
   Remington Arms Co., Bridgeport, CT






SL53 and SL54
   - St Louis Ordnance Plant, St Louis, MO.
Initially, I brought a few pounds back on the airplane and mailed a few several many pounds back to FL.  They clean up and shoot real nice.  During a recent phone conversation, mom mentioned that my brother was cleaning out the basement and wanted to sell what was left of the brass for scrap - to which I replied, "oh, Hell no," and explained that I got into hand loading because of that find and the "Sporterized" Remington 03-A3 that dad had shortened, lightened, blued, jewel-turned and hand carved himself and had passed it on to me.  So, last week when I found this box waiting for me on the door step, I thought it was just some more Christmas cookies and zucchini bread.  Surprise!
