Found some old bullets in my car!!

[Barber31]

I found these pulling out a makeshift rear seat riser. Pretty interesting.

[james hitchcock]

Look like old 22 cal rim fire.

[Barber31]

I googled them and learned they are made by Remington. 22 long rifle made during WWII era.

Might have been a "made on Friday" car.

i found one very small glass dice. maybe from a cracker jack box or gumball machine. the kind of stuff they make out of plastic now.

One 22 bullet and an old worn out dime. Left the dime in the body when I sold it might still have the 22 bullet some place.

If you search the subject you will find numerous posts of things members have found from rat skeletons to large sums of money. Wayne

When some club members pulled the body off an original car they found a dragonfly squished in the welting I believe. I think it went with the car when it got sold-framed of course.

They made those up into the 70s. Don't worry until you start finding just the bullets and not the cartridges.

When my buddy was restoreing his Jag E type, he found a dead, dried mouse. It was stretched out like the cat on the front of the car, so he painted it silver and mounted on a little podium and displayed it with the car at a Jag show. The Jag people were not impressed.

I found a 7 shot Sears Defender pistol in my Tudor.There was an old tin box full of tools,parts,and a broken glass jug of oil.The oil had turned into grease,so I poured some gas in it,covered it and left it outdoors for a few weeks.Every so often I would give it a stir,and after a while I started pulling parts out of it.I got most of the original tool kit,a dual wiper setup,some vulcanizing clamps,plugs,points,the gun and dozens of other little doo-dads.I thought the gun was stainless at first,but it is nickel plated,just preserved by the oil.It is more accurate then some other modern guns I have with the same 2-1/2 inch barrel.

Wow, you got all of that out of a "jug of oil"??

I found this in the door of my Town Sedan...

You guys are lucky, usually all I find when I clean out the corners of a new to me vehicle is junk [emoji6]. Heard an urban legend years ago that someone used a 22 cartridge to replace the blown fuse, apparently with explosive results


Looking for the front bumper emblem that has "Ford, Made In Canada"

Myth Busters did a segment years ago based on an urban myth that a guy was shot in the leg using a .22 for a fuse. Fun to watch, but the myth was busted!

In the 60's my crazy neighbor would clamp a .22 in the vice and hit the end with a hammer to show that the bullet only went a few inches and fell to the ground.

In the Army we were loading our rifles to go practice in the desert, and one of the guys dropped his bullet. The center cap hit the blacktop just right and the exploding shell tore his pants leg.

A few years ago, while salvaging a '29 roadster in the Santa Monica Mtns., we found what could be the genesis of the modern "rat rod"

[Rowdy]

I have found keys, coins and a cap gun while going through A,T and early flathead cars and trucks, but so far no bullets. Rod
