I recently picked up some 14ga brass for my Mullin hammer gun. It was mostly the Greener thin walled cases, but I also found some Winchester marked cases. I'm sure they would have interest to collectors and I have plenty of brass to use, so I am wondering where would be a good place to find new homes for collector cases? I have 10 total and all are in decent shape with headstamps legible, but some pitting / dings on them. Case mouths are somewhat ragged.

I'd like to purchase a Greener case as a photo prop.

Ward's Collectibles is a good auction site. They have sold many items for me.

I may not have been entirely clear.
I bought the Greeners because I shoot them in my gun. In the course of buying cases to use in my gun I wound up with 10 14ga Winchester cases that are likely collectible. I'd like them to find the right home, because I'm not a cartridge collector.

They are as noted earlier they are very collectible.
You can auction on gunbroker or if you do not want the bother Wards Collectibles is a option too.
You could post them for sale on this pages sale page, but I am not sure how to advise you to price them.
You may want to sell them as individual cases or in pairs rather than as a whole lot

During the last century, if the brass cases have been subjected to black powder and/or corrosive primers, and improperly cleaned, they might not hold up. I would not not recommend using them for hand loading. They are nice collectibles.

Sorry I fell off the earth.
As to price, I'm at a loss. I haven't found any comparables. My greeners have averaged around $10ea and they are around, but I've never seen one marked Winchester. Are they worth $30ea?
I'm not sure they would mix in well if you're having custom cases made, as these would take different size wads than RMC use.
I agree that they are more of a collectable and are not advertised as safe to shoot. They may be fine, but I can't guarantee it.

Maybe they're $5ea. Hell I don't know. My original intent was to find a value / collectors market. I know they're not common, or there would be more about them than a reference to a catalog on a web search.
I'm not good at putting thoughts & ideas into words.

I have no idea of the actual market value but I'd gladly give $20 for one just for the 'cool' value of it sitting on my loading bench.
