The 'Robin Hood' name disappeared in 1919. In my 40 years of collecting, I can recall two or three individual specimens for sale. There were a handful of companies in the late 19th century that were 'acquired' by the bigger outfits, like UMC, in the early 20th century. RH was one of, possibly, the very last independent ammunition manufacturer. I collect WRA Co. and UMC shotshells. They are more easy (spelled 'cheaper') to obtain than the short-lived outfits like RH. As Bruce said, Federal still makes paper, along with numerous loadings from RST.
