How old is this?

I was clearing out some old ammo that my late-grandfather had and found these boxes. I vaguely remember paper shells. It's interesting that the shotgun shell boxes say "All new plastic". Can anyone tell me the possible age of these boxes? They make nice "mini-museum" pieces.

I've got a few old boxes I was given as well. I should pull them out and take a picture.

My guess on the shotgun shells would be mid-60's, probably '64-'68. I believe the plastic hulls were introduced in '64 but the "All New Plastic" logo was kept around for a couple years. An earlier date may be on the box, but I believe it is a trademark date and not a date of manufacture. I have no clue on the Remington rounds, but a box or two of the stuff I have is similar.

I have some boxes of .303 Remington that look similar to the 9mm box that you have.

I have a box of 30-30s that looks like the rifle ammo you have, pretty sure my father bought it in the 70's
