See how fun! A green metal lunchbox, a stack of books (some in french), and a metal creamer!
Look at the cute little star on the lunchbox! ♥
Now, here's where I need your help. I found several of these metal creamers and can't find much information about them. On the bottom some say Polar Stainless Steel Metal Ware 1952. The others say Polar Allegheny Metal Ware and have U.S.A.M.D. etched on the spout. Anybody know if these were used in the military? Perhaps the United States Army Medical Department? I did some research on the Polar Metal Ware company, but it wasn't helpful. I've also seen some of these same creamers for sale on etsy and ebay, but still not a lot of information on the history in the listing descriptions. I'm just really curious to know what the initials on the spout stand for.
I can't wait to get your feedback!

ReplyDeleteYour finds are fabulous! I love the lunchbox.All the one's I've seen are black, but the green looks great.
ReplyDeleteWhat great things you found on your hunt! I hope you find the history of the creamers. That is so cool that they have inscriptions. Love a piece with some history etched right in!

ReplyDeleteGreat find, I so want that lunchbox! Love the color. My hubs who was in the army didn't know what it was either - he thought maybe for water? The initials sound like what you figured. I want that lunchbox. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!

If it's Army medical, it would be marked MSC (Medical Service Corps). I think Diane is right, it means Missile Detachment. And I'm loving that green lunchbox. -- Min
ReplyDeleteHere's a link that says it stands for Missile Detachment.
