LR-1 .22 LONG RIFLE. "MARKER LOAD". 100 rd. buff box with black printing. Loaded by D.W. Pontious.

LR-2 .22 LONG RIFLE. "MARKER LOAD". 100 rd. red box with white printing. Distributed by (a) American Automobile Assn. (b) Porto-Clinic (c) D.W. Pontious

Bright Spots were used in the automobile industry to do braking test. An instrument was attached to the car’s braking system that worked on a pendulum. When the brakes were applied the system swung forward and fired a yellow or green caulk straight down onto the pavement marking where the brakes were applied. The distance could then be measured from the chalk spot to the final stopped place on the vehicle. The AAA was instrumental in distributing them to places like high school driving classes to illustrate how far a vehicle travels until completely stopped and driver’s reaction time. Traditionally the were Long or Long Rifle primed cases filled with a colored caulk substance with a white over-wad. Several headstamps have been noted such as the Western diamond, Remington, none, etc. so it is assumed that they loaded whatever they could purchase. D.W. Pointious of Columbus, Ohio seems to be the primary distributor and loader.

The cartridges were also made in 45 Auto.

NOTE: These were not made to be fired in a firearm.

STUN SAFE

L-1 ..22 LONG (HUMAN STUNNER). 500 rd box.. Green and red folded box with white printing Product code SS-19 on side. Brass case with “D” h/s. Lead bullet

It is believed that Desa Industries made these when Remington sold their power tool business to Desa in 1969. There were only about 50 stun guns produced to fire them. The stun gun has a tube holding 10-12 rounds and is fired by pushing the barrel down and squeezing the trigger.

These cartridges can also be used in standard firearm chambered for .22 Long Rifle. The rounds are supposedly hotter than a standard .22 Long.

WA-1 ..22 WIN AUTO. 25 rounds. Buff box with blue and white label. White printing. Copper case with lead bullet

On February 5th, 1907, Gilbert H. Hoxie was awarded U. S. patent # 843,017 which called for the placing of a small steel ball in the nose of standard bullets with the idea that the steel ball would increase penetration. A company was started and the small steel balls were soon being place in Winchester ammunition. Centerfire ammunition is seen the most with this addition. Only one box of rimfire ammunition has been found.

It is pictured here in Winchester 22 Automatic caliber. The lone surviving round also has the distinctive letter “W” on the case near the mouth.

Back in the 1800's, retailers often applied over-labels to the tops or the bottoms of cartridge boxes in order to advertise their businesses. This is just a sample of these over labels. This could be a collecting field in itself.

All over-label examples are from the George Kass collection.
