Vintage Outers 1960s-70s 12 gauge shotgun cleaning kit P-478 w/ poly case & box

Description: Offered here "as-is" is a vintage 1960s-1970s "Outers" brand 12 gauge shotgun cleaning kit No. P-478 with polypropylene (not metal) storage case & original paperboard box, made in Onalaska, WI, USA. The paperboard box describes the "contemporary new design" of the polypropylene case as "New!", so this would seem to be a transition-era model of this kit, when the company changed over from metal cases to plastic ones. The tube of Gunslick is unused, and the can of gun oil is a third or better full, however the nitro powder solvent bottle is empty and the cleaning patches are used up i.e., an empty box. The paperboard boxes for all those items remain, however, and are very bright, intact, and clean. The consumed supplies just mentioned aside, all components of the kit as described on its packaging (see photo) are included. Note that the corners and end flaps of the paperboard box are bumped and torn or tearing, also that the white bottom of the paperboard box has yellowed or discolored and bears postage-stamp-sized stains in a couple corners. In addition, the back edge of the polypropylene case is bowed a bit along its hinge so that when latched closed, it gaps slightly apart either on one corner or the other (see photos, twig points to gap.) Neither box nor kit bear any off-odors, and this kit comes from a smoke-free household. There is both collectible or display value and usefulness to this kit, which still represents the best way to clean a weapon. Its components individually purchased would surely cost more. Please see all 12 photos, using zoom magnification as necessary to read and see details, as the photos complete the description of this kit. To be shipped inexpensively by USPS priority mail.
