I recently acquired a pre-WWI M1910 undated canteen, but it is stuck firmly inside the drinking cup. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing it that doesn’t involve blunt force, as I don’t want to damage them? Any help is appreciated!

That is very cool!  I don't think many high schools today would look favorably on having a Pack Howitzer hanging around the campus.   Here is a pre-war pic of a "traveling" Pack Howitzer.  (Photo credit to Handcartz.)   Regard, Charlie    

Thank you for the input!! That’s such great information. Here is a photo of one of the tags on his green aviation uniform. Name is H.C. Baldwin and that’s all I know! I haven’t been able to find out anything else even after scrubbing the national archives for all Baldwins. Any advice? 

Those are pretty cool uniforms! The green and khaki are aviation uniforms. With the setting up of the Naval Aircraft Factory and other WW1 responsibilities, it was decided to train some Construction Corps officers in aeronautical engineering, and a few were sent to Pensacola for flight school.   At the time the Construction Corps were the "brains" of the navy, selected from the top of their Academy class to go on to grad school at MIT or another elite university.

Hi there! Very cool uniforms! What was his name? Wade

I have 3 different uniforms belonging to the same Navy officer. From what I’ve researched, I gather that he was an ensign in the construction corps pre-1918. However I have never seen this tan uniform. I wonder if it is pre-WWI and am looking for thoughts and opinions on the matter! Thanks!

It seems GENSCO & AMCRAFT were connected in someway, Both use a similar style acronyms for the company names Both using the same Number system and AMCRAFT being SOLD in a GEMSCO Catalog Maybe Gemsco purchased AMCRAFT early on at some point  

Too Bad you missed it, It was a good one Almost picked up a STEN Gun for my French Resistance display but ran out of money :)    Its a Great little LOCAL show, most if not all the Collectors / Sellers are local so its a nice place to meet up with other home town like minded folks  OH This last show had an interesting Group of a WWI  soldier FROM Hayward INCLUDED his DSC with and a large 1920s photo of him standing in front of the Veterans Memorial building the show is held in I cant remember the soldiers name It was a very nice Group with Documentation / Photos and HIS DSC wish I toot a photo

Thanks Gunner. So back just says Sterling and I think it's just tarnish. I did not clean them.  Probably will leave as is.

Can anyone provide me with a unit  or identification from the markings for this and approximate value? The last name is Strickland. First initials are hard to make out but could be T.D. I don't collect marine field gear. Thank you kindly
