Historical Context
During World War II, nearly all U.S. military property was marked with the “U.S.” stencil to indicate official government ownership.
These stencils were commonly made from thin sheet metal and reused countless times by Quartermaster units in the field.
The style and spacing of the letters became a visual hallmark of the American armed forces across all theatres of war.
