A full box of 20 blank cartridges in .38 caliber for revolvers, produced by Frankford Arsenal. The item is listed as used and the supplier gives no further detail on headstamps, the condition of the box or the packaging date, so what is known is the maker, the caliber, the count and that these are blanks carrying no projectile.

Boxed blanks from Frankford Arsenal are collected as cartridge and militaria items, and that is the audience here rather than anyone looking for range ammunition. A collector of arsenal-labelled boxes or of .38 revolver cartridges will want the box as much as the contents, so ask for photographs of the label and both ends before you buy. Note that the listing files this under handguns; it is an ammunition item, not a firearm.
