[Milsurplus] AN/CUP-1

[Tom Norris]

Is anyone currently making any of these? Places like CafePress.com
will do small runs of custom logos on coffee cups and caps and such.

Could print up some bogus nomenclature tag bumper stickers.
I made a very very short run of tags for the hammers at the
PMEL some time back. Each toolbox had a hammer, so I made
up a phoney tag "Alignment tool, precision...." etc, and looked up
the CAGE info for Skil or some such tool maker and searched
for a generic tool contract #.  Laser printed on foil tags, looked
almost real.

Yea, I had too much time on my hands that day.

Wish I still had some of darned tags.
