Who has a US 37mm M74 shot made by the Liquid Carbonic Corporation?

The Liquid Carbonic Corporation was a company who produced soda fountain supplies before WW2. They were located in Chicago.
In 1942 (and possibly 1943) they produced 37mm M74 AP shot.

They most likely would have stamped the initials "LCC" or "LC" into the rotating band of their shot.
Would greatly appreciate a pic of the band if someone has one. They seem to be extremely rare, at least in the US... as I have never seen one. And I've been looking a long time.

Hi Jeff, I'll have a look this weekend because I need to find it and then get back to you. I don't know whether it's from LCC. Speak to you soon.

Hi Jeff,

I found it, but it's not from LLC. I don't know from which factory it is, however, I like the round very much.

I've attached some photos to give you an impression.

Regards,

Carel.

Thanks for the reply Carel, I appreciate it.
With all due respect to Joe, your shot was made by Crucible Steel Company of America located in Harrison New Jersey.
As far as is known, they were the only producers of M51B3.
Can you unscrew the ballistic cap on your projectile? I am interested to learn if it has a pointed or rounded piercing cap.
