Other Items Made by Prime and Subcontractors

The one that got away from Ron Dalhamer.

One of Inland's first products, a Steering wheel

There is a little more to it.

Rochester was making safeties and extractors before making carbines, extractors were marked IB, IN, IQ. Safeties marked IN

Safeties for IBM carbines were marked EMB, W-B, EPB and extractors IB, IN, WB, W-B.

War Baby page 200 shows that an emergency delivery of safeties were sent from Rochester to Poughkeepsie, These were marked IN

Would the extractors supplied by Rochester to Grand Rapids (from page 200) be marked W-B?

If not how would the be marked?

*note* clarification added in last sentence.

Thanks!

And here's a nice chronology of Stanley logos, trademarks and promotionals.

We could fill pages with this company's products! 

I chose this hammer because the handle is stamped WPA; and the logo stamped on the head was used starting in 1935.

Stanley also made military items during WW2 for weapons other than just the carbines.
One that seems to be fairly common is a small combination screwdriver-punch for the 1911 and 1911A1 pistols.  


There's a summary of contracts for this tool at USmilitaria forum: https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/227753-1911a1-takedown-tool/&do=findComment&comment=1807315
 
The ones Stanley made during WW2 were stamped with their trademark.

In a 2019 article, Walter Jacob states these were made by the Stanley’s tool division.  

He also brings to attention cleaning rods for the pistol stamped SW 1. 
He believes these were probably made by Stanley Works hardware division.
Both divisions, along with Stanley’s American Tubes Stamping Company got "E" awards in 1943.  

Stanley Works of the 1940s was the product of a merger between two companies owned by separate branches of the same family.  Stanley Rule and Level Company made tools, and Stanley Works made hardware such as hinges, sash locks, etc.  In 1920 they joined into one company, two divisions.

At that time, they came up with a new trade mark incorporating the hardware company’s S.W. in a heart, and a rectangular outline with Stanley in it.

1920-1934

Perhaps the rectangular outline came from the shape previously used in the tool company’s literature.

example from a 1914 Stanley Rule & Level Co. Catalog

In 1935 the logo was simplified to the one seen on the hammer and pistol take-down tool.

That said, it seems reasonable that they might have marked items some government only items such as the carbine magazines and pistol cleaning rods with SW.

WOW! I wonder if lateral support? I am sure there is a helmet forum out there, if so I wonder if they ever heard of that one?

I know GE and a few of its subsidiaries made liners. And I learned that while researching carbine related items.

Every show I go to I look through the helmet liners in hopes of finding an Inland for my helmet shell

Ha! Spring chest, that is a good one.

Wayne, You got a Commercial Controls too!

This is probably not news to most of you, but I've recently started a foray into M1 helmets and was surprised to discover Inland manafactured helmet liners.

City codes/postal district codes started in 1943 to break up larger cities. The Zone Improvement Plan (Zip Code) was in the early 60s

You got me on Linde/Union Carbide, what did they make for the carbine?
