"Red Head" shotshell 16 gauge rare?

[highnam]

I found this shotshell in my yard. Researching the "Red Head" brand of shell I believe it is from Montgomery Ward. Probably from the 20's through the 40's .
The stamp also says "long range"....is this a rare shotshell stamp?

It's not particularly rare, I've seen intact live ones selling for a few bucks online. Neat find though, I like old shotshells. I've seen some neat displays of headstamps online.

I think we even have a few of the 12 ga. Red Head shells in our ammo bin.

Thanks Fellas- This was the first shotshell stamp for me that wasn't a major brand. I see the really rare ones come from smaller companies than Montgomery Ward.
the box they came in was pretty cool looking...big old Canadian flying by the moon
