hirsca Posted January 23, 2015 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m151mp Posted January 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2015 these were also used in the officers field mess set for 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
