Vintage BP collectors

[Airgunner II]

I have recently acquired full tins of Dupont FFFg powder in vintage tins. one is the older oval tin in bright red paint, the other two are newer rectangular versions. looking to peddle to collectors, mostly just the one for collectors.
Know anyone?

The newer tins you have , i would gander that the powder is fine! the oldie...I'd have to smell it first.
I'm not far from you.

Most of what i've read states that as long as it 's not clumpy it should still be good.

If these were my cans of powder...
I'd use the two newer ones in my guns.
( After checking to make sure the powder is indeed black powder and not smokeless in a BP can . )
I say this....'cause I do not know the history of the cans / powder....

The older single can , would go out for display with my guns...when I can go and do that again....

As long as the powder is dry , it should be fine enough to go boom.
