I recently purchased some 35 Winchester ammo with a CCC headstamp.
Can anyone tell me who "CCC" is & when they made brass?

  Two companies used the CCC head stamp,
  Canyon Cartridge Company, 141 Albertson Ave, Albertson, NY, and
  Creedmoor Cartridge Co., Barberton, OH

  The Conneticut Cartridge Co. also used the "CCC" headstamp many decades ago.
