Antique box of Western Cartridge Company .32 Smith & Wesson Long centerfire ammunition, produced under the Winchester-Western Division of Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation, dating this bright yellow and red "Super-X" box to the 1950s to 1960s era. The .32 S&W Long was introduced in 1896 and became a popular choice for target shooting and small frame revolvers, known for its mild recoil and respectable accuracy at close range. Originally packed as 50 rounds, this box contains 44 live cartridges and 6 empty brass casings, with the live rounds being straight-walled brass revolver cartridges topped with warm copper-toned 98-grain Lubaloy round-nose bullets and bright yellow head stamped rims, while the spent casings show the same bold "WESTERN .32 S&W LONG" headstamp with silver centerfire primers.
