496th ENG heavy brass bookends


Recommended Posts

Got these today, anyone know the history of the 496th engineers? These are very heavy brass and probably made aboard a ship out of shell casings, my grandfather used to sand cast ashtrays out of brass in WW2 on board a destroyer tender and these are similar. any help would be appreciated.
