370-grain .40-cal paper-patched Sharps bullets

Hi all.

Last week at an estate sale I picked up a little box (who knows how old?) of 25 bullets, hollow-based and paper-patched, for .40-caliber Sharps cartridges. The box was somewhat battered but the label was clear. Inside, the lead wasn't corroded, and all 25 bullets were present. These were the product of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut.

I have absolutely zero need for these, don't own a Sharps cartridge rifle (or any rifle in .40 caliber), and I don't know if I would load and shoot these if I could... but the box of bullets was just too cool to leave it on the table.

At the same time, my life is full of things that were "too cool to pass up," so I'm letting them go.

Does anyone want all of them for a buck a bullet plus postage?
