It was made by the I.F.S Co.  AKA International Flare Signal Co. They were made both in the US and Canada.  Without a picture it is hard to date. Sorry

I think they made shot cartridges as well but can't seem to find much on it.

Here is a shot shell made by the US company.

Can't remember all the details but think they started making flares in the US but only lasted a few years then started making shotgun shells not sure when they opened the Canada factory

I don't know w/o a photo.

My father was making his shotgun shells in the 70's and 80's and he used Imperial 12 guage.

Cheers,
Barb
