Hello

Is this a WW2 era Sterling Wing?  It is not maker marked.

Thank you

WWII and probably into Korean War time period

Thank you.

Can you tell who the maker is?

This pattern has not been definitively identified to a particular manufacturer but was a very common graduation issue type.

Thank you for the help.  It has Rex type clutches on it.

Clutches unfortunately are no indication of who made the wing

I have seen this pattern attributed to Donduro due to the pattern, but I don't believe anyone has ever found one that is actually maker hallmarked.

Thanks to all for the help.  I mentioned the Rex cluthcbacks, since this is the first set I have seen.  Here is a picture of them.

It's actually Dondero if you want to search this forum you will see other examples of that pattern. But no maker marked versions have ever appeared.
