hirsca Posted January 23, 2015 #1 Posted January 23, 2015 I apologize for the unexciting subject, but I'm sure that a great majority of us have used these at one time or another. Yes, the indestructible mess hall flatware! I pick these up occasionally at estate sales if the price is right, but never before have looked at who made them. Here, I present three non-SILCO utensils with different maker's marks. I believe that the last fork is marked N.S.Co. for National Silver Company, but it is pretty well worn. The other two are unknown to me. Remember---not only did we eat with these, we also had to wash them on K.P. duty! Thanks, Al.
