Weekends Finds

[SHAKY]

Brought home some goodies this weekend. US 75mm cartridge 1917 Scovill fuze and case, 1.7 inch cart, 2pr HV, and a 9.5 in DCT. Coulld someone tell me which manufacture the B within a diamond would be on the 2pr and DCT ? Fun finds to try to find room for.
Cheers, SHAKY

Shaky,

DCT is Depth Charge Thrower
The case was made by Bridgeport Brass Company and I think, subsequently modified by Pedlar People Ltd (PP/C) Oshawa, Canada. The primer was manufactured by Crane Ltd (C/C) which I think is now Crane Plumbing/Crane Canada and filled by General Engineering Co. Scarboro.
