I also found this in a circa 1937-8 Winchester shot shells folder --

3-inch 12-gauge and Model 12 Heavy Duck 1938 folder.jpeg

which doesn't call either load MAGNUM.

Western Cartridge Co., which owned Winchester, did call the heavier load MAGNUM in all their listing I've looked at from this December 24, 1936 --

to 1953. Beginning with 1954 price lists, both Winchester and Western began calling all the 12-gauge 3-inch loads MAGNUM?!?

I don't have much Peters Cartridge Co. paper, but this March 13, 1947, Peters catalog list the 1 5/8 ounce load as MAGNUM --

Hopefully this will conclude my sermon on 12-gauge 3-inch progressive burning powder load inconsequential trivia!

Oddly, the Peters Deluxe 3" shells sell for little money at Ward's Auction. Beware the shipping cost however.

craig i have never seen another box of these federal 1 3/8 ounce loadings...my guess would be mid to late 30 s...may be reasher will tell us how old they are...old shells are one of my passions like old parkers and old cars...just cannot afford the really good boxes of shells....those shells that guy gave you are really collictable....charlie
