I was working at a gentlemen's house today, I'm guessing in his early to mid 80s. We got talking about guns and he asked me if I was into reloading. Yeah. He took me down to his basement and showed me his reloading room. Very nice set up. He asked me if I want anything he had, since he doesn't reload anymore and has no kids. I saw all his powders and asked if he would sell me some unique. He offered it all to me for 50 bucks. I told him what it was selling for, but he said it didn't matter, as long as it was going to good use. I got five full cans and one half can. I gave him 100 bucks and told him I would be back when he is ready to sell any guns. He had some primers, but not much and nothing I needed. Oakie

Nice score! In my neighborhood my neighbors don't have any collections like that. Maybe golf clubs, books, i think one is into butterflies, One he and his wife and kids collect college degrees. But nobody i've found is into reloading.
That powder on the left is definitely old, you can tell by the canister and the price of $16.98 a pound.
I’ve got some older powder myself. Some of these cans now are becoming collectible, I traded some old powder cans for powder a while back, they wanted them for display at their shop.

You make some great friends. Looks like he has been reloading for a few years!!
That should keep you going for a while. Great score.
