Sold on eBay for US $301.99

This one-of-a-kind collectable came from the Irwin-Peterson plant and was attached to a small milling machine that was later sold to Smith & Wesson (this comes from the collection of a retired employee of S&W). It reads: “DETROIT ORDNANCE DISTRICT / WAR DEPT. / CONTRACT NO. W-ORD 1548 / IRWIN-PETERSON ARMS CO. / SERIAL NO. 1820”. It measures 3” wide by 1-1/2” high and is made of brass. A unique collectable for the serious M1 Carbine collector and a real piece of history.

Hello, Badger...
I happen to have one of these Elgin-Hardinge Mills.
They were used by Saginaw Steering Gear {GM] in 1943 in the manufacture of M1 Carbines.
