Thanks Tim. You are a walking encyclopedia of codes. I went through several WWI era documents to pull manufacturing facilities in the US and Canada, of which there were a huge number. Unfortunately no codes were given and they are not already on my codes list. Thanks again!!
 
aren't we missing:
General Engineering Company of Ontario (GECO) SC/C
and MI/C McKinnon Industries, Canada
where the Zinc/Zamak fuzes came from and SC did the filling
