Here's a box I recently found. The gentleman received two boxes from his father when the factory he worked at was closing up. During WW2 the Sanitary Can Co. Limited aka American Can Company in Niagara Falls, Ontario, produced infantry mortars. These two boxes held drawings for the production of these items. Unfortunately the gentleman discarded the drawings as he needed the room to keep his toys in them.
Would anyone have any reference to the production of this company or know what the manufacturer mark may be. The American Can Company also had a plant in Simcoe, Ont. It would be neat to tie some ordnance to the history of this box.
