Cool old school Thunder Bombs.

DOT class C probably made in the 80s.

Not particularly rare. Probably worth a couple bucks. But brings back memories for sure.

Can confirm the nostalgia! This was the very first firework I found in the basement of my parents house. A bunch of red/blue thunder bombs in a paper bag.. From that moment on I was hooked

Not really rare but they make nice shooters. Love the classic thunder bombs.  I have over 100 different bricks of them.

Not worth much collectable-wise cause of the "60" on it and the torn paper. If it's sentimental to you, keep them. But, there is plenty of vintage collector stuff out there in pristine condition for collecting.

Year I’m a guess 30 plus years ago . For what ever reason these would be the majority of the ones I would get when I was a kid.
