I have a pretty good collection of Western Cartridge Co. and UMC and Rem-UMC paper to judge the age of boxes. If the box says Union Metallic Cartridge Co. it is 1910 or earlier. If it says Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. it would be from the 1911 to 1916 time frame.

If the company name is The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Company Incorporated it is 1916 to 1920.

In 1920 a new company was formed, Remington Arms Co., Inc. and early boxes like this carry the "Successor to The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co., Inc." line.

Later it was just the Remington Arms Co., Inc.

Kleanbore priming was introduced in 1931

and for a couple of years they used green two-piece boxes and then during 1933 they began using the one-piece boxes.
