This type of enlisted galley Navy tableware and Navy mess deck dinnerware was originally produced only for the U.S. Navy and not available to the general public in the years between the early 1900's through the 1950's, with the majority being produced during WW2.
Produced at the time by the leading manufacturers of fine graniteware pitchers and coffee pots such as The Vollrath Corporation who produced Navy Stainless Steel Ladles, Pots and Pans; The L&G Manufacturing Company, The Carrollton Manufacturing Company.
The U.S. Navy Stainless Steel Forks, Stainless Steel Spoons, Stainless Plates and Bowls, and Stainless Steel Knives were mostly made by Silco, Reed and Barton, Wallco, Stratford Plate, Royal Stainless, WM Rogers, and Meriden. All of the U.S. Navy Graniteware, Enamelware, Stainless Steel Flatware and Pitchers all have the engraved U.S.N either on the handles or on the bottom of the item.
All are authentic, original and actually used by our sailors and seaman while aboard ship from the late 1800's, on the Great White Fleet, and during WW1, WW2, Korea and the Vietnam Wars.
For your review and consideration The Pirate's Lair also offers a complete line of Nautical Furniture of Desks and Tables made from restored U.S. Navy WW2 Liberty Ship Wooden Hatch Covers, 100 to 125 year old meticulously restored antique Captain's Sea Chests, Pirate Chests and Pirate Treasure Chests.
And full service placesettings of authentic vintage WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam era U.S. Navy Tableware and Naval Dinnerware of Fine China, Silverware and Serving Bowls and Trays used by Naval Officers aboard ship and shore!
