From a quick google search it was a Montgomery Ward brand name that was used into the 1950s when they were renamed Hawthorne Shotshells. Your entitled to oxygen. Everything else is earned.

Check out Kellyco for all your metal detector needs. https://www.kellycodetectors.com I bought my Minelab directly out of their retail store in Florida. Good people , very knowledgeable , competitive prices , good quality - they don't sell homeowner grade stuff. NRA benefactor member

Im surprised sometimes where I find those bases off old shot shells. Even find old shell casings in place you wouldn't think. I think if you went in a popular duck marsh. You could probably easily fill bucket with them old brass bases. Id have to look not sure if I saved any odd ones I have found. Most just go in my brass scrap bucket with keys and other brass without value other than scrap. I do wonder though when I find one of them. If the person that fired it hit what they were shooting at.

I was with with Keith Crowley who wrote "The Story of an Old Duck Hunter". I was aching to do a little digging around in the back of the blind in hope of finding one of Mac's empties. A metal detector would have done the trick. Moosetrot
