Hart's Sportsman's Favorite Metallic Shells for 

 Breech Loading- Shot Guns. 



These Shells are easily loaded, and the c*ps 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 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 missfire 

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

 are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2} to 3i inches. 



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

 throughout the country. GEO. E. HART * CO., 363 and 365 Market St., Newark N 3 8p0rt8men 8 noU8es
