50mm US projectile dated 1900: need some help with manufacturer ID

[mdot633]

Nevermind...I found the other post on this shell...for some reason last time I searched I couldn't find it!

This projectile has been recently discussed by another member - I'm still not sure what gun is was meant for. I cleaned mine up and found some markings on the base and would love some help figuring out who made it

"D.-S.G. & A Co 1900"

My best guess is Driggs-Seabury? G is for gun maybe?
