It might just be original.


Yes, and I'm going to lay a few more examples of what I've encountered in my carbine collecting adventures. Stay tuned!

J. L. Clark
from their current website (2022)
Perhaps their best known product today?

One of their first lithographed tinned cans


And a fairly obscure one with their logo on the the bottom.

That's great Jim.  If I came across that coop, doubt I'd figure out it was intended for human babies sun tan!

Broken link above in the J.L.Clark post should show Altoid boxes from Clark's current website.  https://jlclark.com/

Here's a 1962 newspaper clipping with a history of the Clark's beginings.

and a 1917 view of their Rockford Ill. building

I've been cleaning out the basement, and ran into these shelf clips today.

How many of you have seen Winchester bicycles or Winchester hatchets? I've seen both. But the owners wouldn't sell!

I actually had to put one of those on a heating system a couple of years ago.  My grandfather enclosed their garage in the late 50's, and when he did so he ran copper tubing back and forth under a new concrete floor.  He routed that tubing to a water heater with a small circulation pump in the basement, and hooked the circulation pump up to a thermostat.   Makes for nice heated floors in the winter, with a very simple system.   Right above the circulation pump there is a l- with the right angle going to the floor carrying hot water, and one of these vents at the top where air in the system goes as water is pumped.   

Works great!

Interestingly enough, Dad's Rock-Ola has a JM marked type III band, which I always assumed was Marlin.  Just found an old post by Bill Ricca that said "JM was J Mueller Furnace Company in Wisconsin".  

So not the right furnace company, but ANOTHER furnace company making gun parts!

I've seen hatchets or old ads for them but not bicycles.  I can keep an eye out and ask around if your interested.  I have an aquaintance that is into fixing and collecting bicycles.

QHMC 1911 magazine delivered a little to late for the Korean War.
I have not found any contract information on QHMC in this era. Contracts may have not met the reporting threshold.
