Patent “Perfect” Brass Shells, 
MANUFACTURED BY 
KYNOCH & CO., Birmingham, Eng. ' 
These shells are made of extra fine thin phable metal, with reinforced base; are adapted to either 
Winchester or Wesson No. 2 primers. Can be reloaded as often as any of the thicker makes, Cost 
only about half as much. Weight less than paper shells. They shoot stronger and closer, and admit 
of a heavier charge, as owing to the thin metal, inside diameter is nearly two gauges larger. Load 
game as any brass shells, using wads say two sizes larger than gauge of shells. Or can be effectually 
crimped with tool and straighten out to original shape when discharged. The crimping tool also 
acts aS a reducer, an advantage which will be appreciated by all experienced sportsmen. Sample 
shells will be mailed (without charge) to any sportsmen’s club or dealer, and prices quae to the trade 
only. For sale in any quantity by gun dealers generally, or shells in case lots only, (2,000), and crimpers
