Does anyone have a reference to identify the manufacturers' markings on the handles of m-1942 mess kits. I have one made in 1942 and another in 1943

Bummer, I would like to know the same exact thing! I've got a 1942 dated meat can with a manufacturer's logo that I'm not familiar with; photo attached.

Bingo! Kunte Kinte, I found you!!!

I happened to be looking around the Web informally and someone else knew the answer: it's "Owens Illinois Glass Co. "

Correct. Here you can see the marking on a 1944 Coke bottle.
