Old box of brass

I've had this box of .45's on my shelf for a few years now. These are old balloon headed cases. Just curious if anyone has seen something similar and/or has any idea of age. I first thought that someone had scribbled on it but under the black crayon it says 'Primed'. I'm assuming the box was used for both primed and unprimed cases and the factory just marked out whichever did t apply.

Best I can tell, they have never even loaded. Guy I got them from (at a gunshop) just wanted to get rid of them because they would t fit in his shell holder. I'm assuming its because there is no extractor groove.
That's probably right about not fitting due to no

extractor groove, I have had that experience. They are neat and are probably worth something to somebody. I would think that one (maybe more) of those somebodies frequents this place.

Those are worth some dough....

Any good way to get a real value? No big rush to sell them as they look pretty cool sitting on my book case with my other varied 'stuff'.
