These are all somewhat common, but the whole lot would certainly have some small value.

Loose cartridges like these are not highly valuable as collector's items, a full original box is usually required for any significant value.

Someone with a wide variety of older guns might be interested to shoot them off, salvage brass, or just gawk at them (like me).

Others who have cartridge collections might bite to fill in some calibers they don't have.
 
I also found all this old rimfire ammo . None if it .22.

Some of the odd rimfire ammo might be 22 Winchester Auto by the looks of it. I would love to get it from you if you aren't collecting it. It will only fit the Winchester 1903 rifle, which I have.
 
I'm guessing a box that was filled up right around the turn of the century? Pretty cool.

If there's some .38 Long Colt military rounds...I may be interested in those.
