I only know it says Auto Ord and New York. Patents On File or something, but no #'s.
If it is original drum, and not a westie, wondering its approx value.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
If it has a New York address and no patent numbers it is a West Hurley made drum. WWII drums made by Auto-Ordnance had a patent pending marking, but they have a Bridgeport, CT address.
I don't know for sure, but I believe the West Hurley drums in good condition are presntly selling for from $400 to $600 dollars. Other list members that own them will know better on prices.

Hold your water - after the ban sunsets you can purchase one from khar for around $200.
