That old stuff is $$$. Like $400 and up per box. I have a couple of boxes of UMC 44-40 from pre-1893 and a couple boxes of .44-40 blanks for 'moving pictures' from about 1915.
The guy I got them from had tons of old ammo but sold it at auction for peanuts. He even had original tape primers for his original 1855 .58 Dragoon pistol and original paper Sharp's cartridges and rimfire Spencer and Henry cartridges, etc. Wonderful, historic old stuff.
