Lionel made compasses for naval use and telegraph keys. I know a WW2 collector who's into 3-rail and he often shows me those pieces as if I haven't already seen them countless times...
Everyone who could gear up for war contracts, did so. Union Switch and Signal made M1911A1 pistols. I'd love to have one for my substantial WW2 collection, but they're very rare and quite expensive if you can find one for sale:
Heck, Rock-Ola made carbines and typewriter company Underwood made firearms, as well.

Hello P51........

I am WWII buff too and wondering who makes the best model M1911 for home defense for a reasonable price. I asked because there are so many M1911 copies and wanted to avoid junk. Maybe all stainless steel construction version?
