22rimfire casing, help to ID era

[Ronstar]

I was up behind my house today playing with the F75 in All Metal Motion. This little gem was nearly 7” deep and rang in the penny range. I can find mention of the company but no manufacturing date parameters. Any one know??? Simply marked US, no dots and not raised.

And here's a link to an excellent head stamp identification page.

Small 22 gauge cartridge. Can't see if it's 22Lr or 22Short. Probably late 1800s

From what I've read, it may be from between 1920/26

Hey thanks guys!!! I was on the one site and got company history but was trying to pin down a bit more of a date frame. This pretty much answers the question!!!!!!
