Creighton, thanks for all the information, plus everyone else. Great site. Having a buddy looking at this morning, now I think it has been painted. The word canteen you cannot see, unless you open the door. Believe me I hope it is original, I am not very fast doing a project. Thanks again Mike

 That's what I'm trying to figure out .if smith can see it on the inside . So it's either covered by a Marquee Plate .Or filled in with Bondo

I starting looking at it real close. Any tell me the if original one, came with a piece of metal above mirror
that was pop rivet in? Seven pop rivets. The letters feel kinda smooth across the top. I will take pictures Monday . Letters on back side of door look like they are part of the door. Mike

I believe the sign is covering the embossing . If you can see it on the inside you should be able to feel it as it will be recessed  on h outside IF ? You remove the sign and its flat it may ? Bondo in ?

That's why I want to view a pic

On the machine that I got the base off of for Leonard - the embossing was bashed in and bondo'd over so even if I took it down to bare metal the embossing was ruined.

Pop rivets are never a good thing to encounter on late 40's early 50's items.  1965 is the start of pop rivets Best I know.
Hope someone just slapped a new sign over the Canteen sign.
If it has been bashed and bondo filled won't be the first and sadly not the last that meet that fate.
That was the deal with Canteen. No re-use.
Looking forward to the pics when you get a chance.!!
Thanks,
Creighton
