This goes out to "Turtlefoot", and anyone else that knows about head stamps.
I found these at a 1800s site, but know little about head stamps and how to place the time era on them. I know "Turtlefoot" collects them based on past post, and has good knowledge, so I was hoping you could tell me a little about these?
one says "Mallard then No 12, and on the bottom SR Co
next one: Redhead then No 12, and on the bottom Reliance
Next two are "Winchester", and both are No 12
first one has "Super Speed" on the bottom with made in USA in the middle
second one has "Repeater" on the bottom with "New W R A co No 4" in the middle. I think that's what it says in the middle, but not completely sure?
I know these are shot gun shells, but thought this was the forum to place it in considering I don't know the time frame they are from, thanks.
