FAQs

Are these paper or plastic hulls? Paper/cardboard — these are genuine vintage-style paper hulls, not the more common plastic hull. The marbled texture and rustic look come from the paper material itself.

What does "once-fired" mean? These hulls have been fired at least one time and recovered in good condition — spent, empty, and completely inert. No gunpowder, no live primer.

Will the headstamp or writing match exactly? Headstamps and writing on hulls may vary slightly, since these are genuine mixed-lot casings, not uniform reproductions.

Which quantity should I choose? The 5 and 15-piece packs are great for small jewelry projects or samples; the 100-piece pack suits bulk crafting, wedding decor, or resale.
