Robin Hood shotgun head stamp

[Gridwalker306]

I found this Robin Hood shotgun headstamp a couple days ago, only the third one I've ever found. I have found zillions of headstamps over the years, so I'm wondering if these Robin Hood ones are a little more rare.

Anybody collect headstamps might know?

That's a good one.... it will date from 1906 to 1919 from what I found online...

Thanks for the response, I'm actually getting interested in these shotgun shells. Might as well, I dig enough of them.

The info I came across says the "Robin Hood Powder Co" existed from 1898-1906, then the name changed to "Robin Hood Ammunition Co" until the company was bought out in 1919.

I guess there are people who collect these things, and some can be hard to find. Definitely going to double check my pile of shells.

Thanks Joe. Doesn't bother me to dig them as much knowing that some of them are worth keeping!

Yeah I think I may have mis read the info I was looking at.... Even better that it's older though!
