Calling all Hallmarks/Makers!

[coastie]

Okay I've looked at the new "Call to Duty" and I was a little disappointed that there wasn't much about Hallmarks. I would like to start a thread where we can have a source of Hallmarks and contractors of US Decorations and Medals.

Here are some that I know

Medallic Art Co.

American Emblem Co., INC.

Bailey, Banks & Biddle

Whitehead & Hoag

Robbins Co.

G-23 - Ira Green

G-27 - Graco industries

Graco Gi

HLI-Gi - His Lordship Industries

LI-GI - Lordship Industries

Anymore?

Swank, Inc., Attleboro, Mass. - Bronze Star Medal

Heckethorn Mfg. & Supply Co., Litleton, Colo. - American Theater Medal

U.S. Mint - USN/USMC/USCG Campaign Medals

Volupte, Inc. - Antarctica Service Medal

I have a boxed EAME Campaign medal by:

Medallic Art Co. 210E, 51st Street NYC.

I guess my eyes are not what they used to be .. Charlie you already got this one

BTW .. this is a great thread. I'm pasting and copying them into a word document as they are listed

That's a great list of military insignia manufacturers, but did they all make medals?
Here are a few I didn't see on the list.

Silverman Brothers (5-11-44 dated Good Conduct cardboard box)

Freeman Daughaday Co. (8-16-43 dated Purple Heart Cardboard box)

N.S. Meyer Inc. (1943 dated Silver Star cardboard box)

Krew Inc (9-57 dated National Defense Medal cardboard box)

Dennis -

That is a great list of post Korean War insignia manufacturer's codes and names. It's always driven me nuts wondering who D22 or 6U or 7M, etc. were.

Believe me, I've made a hard copy of the list and will have it with me from now on.

Thanks!

Here are a few that are not on the list and I don't know the manufacturer. Maybe someone can help to identify them.

12C. I have seen this only on USAF wings, probably Vietnam period.
