My guess is 60-70s around there.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I would say the mark 5 is from the 70's and the other 2 are from the 60's.

I think you are looking at late 50’s to late 60’s. I too collect old ammo boxes. I have similar to yours.
Great find

Same as from Grandpas house. I always thought it was stuff from the 60/70's that made it to the 80's and then we had it in the 90's and now its at my house 2025 lol. I have whats left of three generational barns in my barn. They shoot fine. I never understood why people were nervous to shoot old shot shells. I mean they blow up and you are blowing them up in a device designed to blow them up in. Watch for squibs and you should be fine but I agree its fun. I only shoot them if they are in good shape, but I've never had a problem yet. The worst I've seen is occasionally one of those old brass case heads will split a little, but that's it.
