smwinter207 Posted August 26, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2016 Were these made in country? There is no hanging mechanism on the back. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted August 26, 2016 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2016 Looks more like a desk name plate. Any evidence that there was a stand on the bottom reverse at one time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smwinter207 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted August 27, 2016 You can see the scratches on the bottom where it seems a stand would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted August 29, 2016 Share #5 Posted August 29, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwinter207 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted August 29, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted August 29, 2016 Share #7 Posted August 29, 2016 Could have even been made by a staff person under his command. Pretty cool either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmicraig Posted September 11, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 11, 2016 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.
