Fausto Posted April 28, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 28, 2013 Bonsoir Nicolas, trying to reply some of your questions... SMCO : Strong Manufacturing Company, Sebring, Ohio BECO : Bellaire Enameling Company, Bellaire, Ohio AGMCO : Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company, Newark, New Jersey REP Co : Republic Stamping & Enameling Company, Canton, Ohio Hoosier Tarpaulin & Canvas Goods Co. Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana Nasco Awnings & Signs Company, Watertown, New York, or ( I'm not sure) Nasco Awnings, Brooklyn, New York The Miller-Hexter Company, Cleveland, Ohio I'm sure that our fellows U.S. collectors could correct or improve what I have said above... Most important to me is that you mention a First Aid Pouch marked G&R Co. (Gregory & Read Co., Lynn, Massachussetts). Are you sure of these markings on a FA pouch? As far as I know Gregory & Read didn't make these pouches... Hope this can help. Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas75 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for your answer, as i see we have knowledgeable people I add "F.S.F." (on a ww1 .45 magazine pouch) "Felt Novelty MFG" (on a pair of leggins) "Scott Mfg Co" (on a pouch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto Posted April 29, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 29, 2013 Hello ! I can't help this time... I can only say that the F.S.F. - as far as I know - is the only WWI .45 mag pouches manufacturer still unidentified. Mills , L.C.C.&CO., L.D. INC., R.H. LONG, P.B.&CO. and RUSSELL have been identified and located... Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted May 2, 2013 Share #9 Posted May 2, 2013 I know this isn't much help now but I thought I should let you know about a future project. Rusty Canteen and I are reworking and updating the Field Gear Reference Section much like what we recently finished doing for the Firearms and Ordnance Reference Section. As a part of that we are going to add a section for company names and logos. We might also try to list what products were made and the various addresses used. All of that data that can be gathered now in threads like this will be a big help later on. We don't really have a time estimate but if the Firearms Section was any guide then we are looking at a good 4 to 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto Posted May 3, 2013 Share #10 Posted May 3, 2013 Great news Craig ! That's a fine and needed enterprise... A pinned section with companies names and location would be a super fine addition to the Forum. Thanks ! Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
