Hart’s Sportsman’s Favorite Metallic Shells for 
Breech Lioadiug- Shot Guns. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 
than any shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents it from driving though or 
springing away, thereoy causing missfires. The cone is made of nickle and fastened solid in its place. It 
neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents mlssfire 
when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These Bhells 
arc finely finished, aud made any length ordered, from 21 to JJ inches. 
Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from, all the leading sportsmen’s houses 
throughout the country. GKO. K. HART «fc CO., 363 and 365 Market st., Newark, N. J.
