Looks more like a desk name plate. Any evidence that there was a stand on the bottom reverse at one time?

Agreed. Cool item.

It could have been made anywhere from North Carolina to Vietnam to Korea.

 

If you could identify the wood, that might be a clue.

 

To me, based on the lettering style, I am guessing this is PX made in the US. But I could easily be wrong.

I agree. The wood seems US made. But the craftsmanship and painting seems asian. I know I've seen this before, but can't remember where.

Looks very similar to the wooden desk nameplates that everyone bought when they were stationed in or TAD'd to the PI or Japan. Very popular in the Marine Corps and many Officers have them on their desks from prior service in Okinawa or for the old-timers, in the PI.
