George,Thompsons were made by Auto Ordinance in West Hurley NY. Some early ones were made by Colt in Hartford,CT for Auto Ordinance.

THOMPSON SMG
Dave: The reason that I asked is because I recently got to handle one that was marked: :THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN
CALIBER .45 M1A1 on the left & AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT U.S.A on the right It belonged to an old friend, recently deceased, who brought it back from WWII. I went back today to recheck the markings. I wonder if there is anything left of the AUTO-ORDNANCE factory. Just Wondering.........George Last edited by George Lander; 06-26-2009 at 06:37 PM.. |

George,I don,t really know.I would suspect that they may have moved to BPT. The history I found on them was that they were in NY in about 1927. Maybe they were manfactured by Remington under contract for Auto Ordinance during the war. As EDM says:"Investigation continues"

The Sycamore Loading Block actually appears to be made out of sycamore wood. It was a common lumber for drawer sides and bottom as it wore very even and smooth with time and use. We had some at home one time when I was a kid, it's super had and dense. Reminded me of beech only maybe harder actually, pretty stuff full of cross grain and curlyque.
