Default Relative age

I recently came into some older .22LR ammo and would like to use it in pictures of some old rifles and revolvers. I remember the red and white Remington box from the early 70s and the Peters box has me thinking 60s. Can anybody put me in the right decade for the other Remington?

The .22 Kleenbore with the 'dog bone' design is 1930's I believe. The other two have the "Keep out of reach of children" warning which became a requirement in 1962. So they are '62 or later. I think they used the red and white Remington box starting in 1965 or so.

The Remington "dog bone" box was used from the mid 1920's until the early 1940's. The earlier ones had Bridgeport and London on the front panel. Yours does not appear to have London on it (can't quite tell from the photos), so it probably is from the late 1930's or early 1940's.

Hard to see even in person, but the box has "Ammunition" over "Bridgeport, Conn" on the left and "Firearms" over "Ilion, NY" on the right.

Thanks. The dog bone is appropriate for my father's rifle and the others for my K22.
