These were wildcat cartridges back in those days.

Both of the .30 Newton and .35 Newton cartridges were factory loaded and sold to the rifling public basically from 1916 period through 1950. The Newton factory first sold both with “REM-UMC”, “N.A.Co.”, and the “N.A.CORP.” headstamps during the 1916 through 1920 era. Then the Western Cartridge Company manufacturing both cartridges during 1921 through the early 1940s era with the “Western” headstamp and finally Speer Products Company manufactured both during the 1948-1950 periods with the “Speer” headstamp.

Reason I ask the question is that the factory manufacture and sell of ammunition relating to specific firearms cartridges is not a typical scenario for a “wildcat” cartridge.

And basically looking for your prospective as a collector of Newton rifles.
