While searching our old home property dump site I found a shell cap marked Remington UMC NO. 12 Arrow. I found on line some pics of one but they said most found are all brass but some were made with steel linings. Mine definitely sticks to a magnet. Internet dates it between 1911-1919 Any value at all?

I would love to see the headstamp on this one. The Arrow has a great history. Yours is one of the "steel reinforced" ones. Basically, a steel washer was used in the manufacturing process. Other than the historic information that might be able to be gleaned from this find, there isn't much value to it. It would be even hard to sell as scrap because of the steel in the brass. It is still a great find though.

Here is a very early (1912) ad for the "steel lined" Arrow. This was in Cosmo magazine of all places.
