I snapped a couple of pictures of AA headstamps today while taking a break fron snow blowing. Four degrees on the deck this morning. Supposed to have the - sign tomorrow morning. At any rate, the early AAs had the brand name spelled out and the AA logo on the head stamp --
A while later as Olin was moving towards consolidating their two ammunition lines they went to the W - W head stamp --
And by the way, what ever those red shells are in front of the AA box in the first picture, those aren't the shells that started life in that box!
