Hello, I have been trying to id the font used by the US Army on their K ration boxes during WWII. This font also appears on other boxes, such as ammunition crates. While there is some slight variation to the fonts on original boxes I have seen, I have uploaded a typical box end. If it helps, the "KS" is 2" tall while the other letters are 3/4" tall. Although this font looks like sans serif, the "S" and "2" do have serifs to distinguish them from "5" and "Z". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Don Eaton
