they were for the 36 bolt action. made from 1920 to 1924.
There was a short 1 1/8" and a long 1 9/16" and some types had metal bases.
both remington and winchester made 9mm until late 1930's.

According to the "2007 Standard Catalog of Fireaems" The Winchester Model 36 was a single shot bolt action made from 1920 to 1927.This was made in 9 m/m long ( which you appear to have), 9 m/m short and a 9 m/m ball. I could not find a Remington loading in this. I looked in my 1923 Modern Firearms and Ammunition catalog also in a 1925, 1930, 1935 jobber wholesale ammunition catalogs and a few other early 30's ammo catalogs. I could not find a reference to Remington making this round. It appears like you have an uncommon box of ammo.
