Vintage ammo question

[moosedog]

What year would these two boxes of ammo be from? I appreciate your help.

I can offer a guess and say the 1930s.

Hi: the top box (red & yellow .45 colt) is 1950-1960s era

Rem Dog Bone box is generally circa early 1930's although may be later for uncommon calibers as their slower sales delayed box updates.

Western Bullseye boxes started prewar and were used for some calibers through the '50's. It would help to see the back of the Western box.

Here's a picture of the back of the box. Thank you in advance.

The "Division of OLIN INDUSTRIES" call out on the Western box makes it post War. Likely 1946 to the early 1950's.

 

[moosedog]

I thank you folks.

If it says "Olin" it's post-WWII. The "Division of Olin Industries" legend would have been used until the mid-1950s when Olin became Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation. The Remington Dogbone boxes would be from the 1930s. If you PM me with the lot numbers, I can probably date your boxes fairly precisely.
