6" Trench Mortars - These are two of the very first 6 produced by US Radiator Corp. Dunkirk, NY. Tag reads "In 1917 the U.S. Army asked for bids for the manufacture of these 6 inch trench mortar shells. The U.S. Radiator Corp. Dunkirk, NY got the contract. The first 6 made were sent to Aberdeen, MD proving grounds. They were approved and returned to the plant. Plant officials kept these first 6 made. When the war ended the Dunkirk and Detroit plants were each turning out 5000 shells per day." These two were owned by the manager of the Dunkirk plant.
