Shinkle post WW II patent

[Eodtek]

I'm doing a bit of research and came across this patent application from Edward M. Shinkle (yes, of the WW I era grenade). Has anyone ever seen this grenade before?

Nope. I haven't.

Reminds me a lot of the Beano.

And those photos, some of them being mine, are of the post WW I (1918) patent grenade. The file I posted at the start of this thread is referring to the post WW II (1946) patent grenade.

Mike, there was a gentleman down south working some years ago on a book on US grenades, he had done much more work on the subject than anyone else I've seen, you might check with him. I know at least one of the folks posting on this site spent a week with him and several others doing research in the Archives on anything they could find.

Yes, I know him quite well and was planning on calling him just after the holidays.

That does look a bit like his grenade. The documents I have for Shinkle are dated Nov., 30, 1918 and that patent is from 1919 so it might be a knock off. Definitely another direction to look in.

Paul, do you have this scan? It's part of the original patent for E.M. Shinkle's grenade in 1918?
