I have come into two 15 round magazines with the mark AI stamped on the back.  It seems to me I read somewhere that was the marking used by Inland. Can anyone shed any light on this for me and possible value, if any??  Thks

Pretty good magazine info on this old webpage link below. Yes the AI mags were made by the Autoyre Co. for Inland. They usually are selling for around $15-$20 depending on condition.

Going through the magazines I have had for years I found one with an IW inside a circle (Winchester by International Silver?) and four with nice large U (looks like they have never been used - Union Hardware/new manufacturer)?; also one marked IS (International Silver?)

Anyone have other information of use to me about these magazines?

It is tough being retired and bored...Big smile

Large U, looks like never used very well could be Korean mags. USGI U mark is a normal size, like AI or other letters.

I have a large U on my 15 round mags and I know they are Korean-made.  Function great though!
