I found two of these bakelite grenades in Australia c.2000 and got one with patent papers that seemed to ID this grenade with small differences.
I mis-placed all paperwork except for the tags I attached. They came from USA originally. Approx 3.5" diameter (89mm).
Experimental bakelite grenade by Tobias Miller, Washington DC 1948.Patent No.2,393,861 Jan 29, 1946.
Sample made by Keyes Fibre Co, Waterville, Maine,USA style A.
Not issued, refused by War Dept. 1948. The pin is not original. All info is welcome.
