'Flage Guy Posted March 10, 2011 Share #51 Posted March 10, 2011 M1910 Cup: "J. Arko Okinawa; April First 1945". He has a bunch of other stuff ("Camp Perry, Ohio", "Hawaii", etc.) on there as well, but this photo was an experiment to see how this piece would photograph-Sorry!

Engraved on one side Ward S.Coates 39860213 Phoenix Arizona U.S.A. along with Cactus and on the other side Palm Trees and... Ono Bay New Guinea Nov."44" Bougainville Dec."44" Luzon P.I.-Manila "45".

These things are so cool that if it weren't that I collect helmets and ID'd uniforms, I'd probably collect these. The fact that I don't will make my son(trench art collector) very happy since we don't have to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted March 9, 2012 Share #61 Posted March 9, 2012 Here is my one and only engraved piece. Judging by the name, dates and locations I believe that the owner was an Army Nurse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiques Posted September 19, 2013 Share #66 Posted September 19, 2013 This is a World War I “diary” mess kit. The lid includes the soldiers name and all of his stateside and overseas assignments during the War. The bottom of the mess kit is engraved with Lady Liberty with his unit designation on a banner. This is identified to Romeo Tognazzini of Battery. F 47th Coastal Artillery Corps. Grouping includes his dog tags. What really makes this special is that the soldier stamped all of the pieces with his Army Service number. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
