Some of the powder cans he has appear to be pretty old. For instance, he has a can of 2400, and 2 of Unique, that are definitely packaged differently than when I started reloading (mid -70's). I'm wondering if they might have any collector value, and if so how much? (Some feel full, but I didn't open them for fear of decreasing value, if in fact there is any.)

There are several other types of powder in similar cans that are probably about the same vintage. I won't post all the pictures and clutter up the post unless you feel from the above examples they might have some value.
Another thing is a set of CH dies in .243 which are chrome plated. I've never owned CH so I don't know if they still make them that way, but the box looks old. Anyone know if there is any collector interest there?

He also has quite a few boxes of Herter's bullets, different calibers & weights, some of which still have an unbroken seal. As I recall, Herter's went out of business about 40 years ago. Any collector value there?
Finally, he has a couple of old revolvers. They consider them heirlooms and probably don't want to sell them, but would like to have an idea of their worth, and when they were made. The first is a Colt SSA in .32 WCF. It's in pretty rough shape, as you can see.

The pitting is pretty bad, especially on the outside of the barrel, (I didn't check the bore - afraid I'd cry) and the half-cock notch only catches about 1 time out of 10. I doubt if even Turnbull could resurrect it. I'm guessing it's only worth whatever someone might pay for a wallhanger. Any thoughts? The serial # is 2630xx. Can any of you Colt collectors tell me when it was made?
The other is older, I think. I'm pretty sure it's a .22 short. It's missing the base pin for the cylinder, but otherwise seems to be in decent shape. It has a brass frame, and the top of the barrel says "Whitneyville Armory CT. USA". The only other markings I could find was a 4 digit ser. # on the butt - 41xx. I recall reading something quite awhile ago that similar type revolvers came out around the 1860's. Can anyone identify it, date it, or make a guess as to value?
