Looking for an ol BB brand

[Ron191]

Back in the '60s when I got my first BB gun (Daisy model 1894) I used to buy these paper tubes of BBs. The tube was red about two inches long and crimped on both ends with a six point star crimp like the old paper shotgun shells. Does anyone remember the brand name?

I do remember Crossman made tubes of BB's with crimped ends but no idea if that is the brand your looking for.

I bet you are talking about the federal brand XL BB's or the winchester brand

Here are both. The federal ones look like they might be what you’re talking about.

Thanks guys. I'm writing up the history of my first Daisy and needed s better description of tha ammunition. I shot that gun until it wore out. All I have left of it is the great memories. I'm getting them down on paper before they fade any more. 



I recently bought a Red Ryder to replace it. It's a lot of fun but it isn't quite the same. 



I'm pretty sure that it was the Federal BBs pictured in your post Ripper.
