Hart's Sportsman's Favorite Metallic Shells for 



Breech Loading Shot Guvs. 



These Shells are easily loaded, and the c-ips 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 through or 

 springing away, thereby causing missiires. The cone is made of nickie and fastened solid in its place. It 

 neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickie cone also prevents rnisefire 

 when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These shells 

 We finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2£ to 3£ inches. 



Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leading sportsmen's houses 

 throughout the country. GEO. E. HART & CO., 363 and 365 Market St., Newark, N. J.
