I picked to shell up and thought wow! This sailor was a true artist, with a lot of time on hand.

And here is the bottom. I was lucky enough to get the guy's last name, so I may be able to find a little more about him! Any ideas about the initials "BMKx" scratched in next to the USN?

Nice item. Could the BMKx be "BmKy" perhaps? Not that it's much better, but it's hard to see in the photo.
