Here's another recent pickup.  A stein with the name "Grissom" along with the patches from the 308th Strategic Missile Wing and 374th Strategic Missile Squadron.  It was an eBay purchase and the seller didn't even have a picture of the Titan II on the side so that was a nice surprise when I opened the box   There are no stamps or makers marks on the bottom or anywhere else I can see.

My dad has some of those. he started commanding atlas missiles in plattsburg N. Y. then we moved to malmstrom AFB montana where he became the youngest crew commander for Minuteman II's in US history, he was 27. He also has a couple steins from west point circa 1958.
