Check the listing for details. Marked USN WWII Navy Mess Tray With Rivets, 1941-1945. Condition: Used. Listed at 17.00 USD. These are original WWII Stainless Steel Mess trays Marked USN on the back. They have 6 food slots and measure 15.5" x 11.75". They are very heavy stainless steel. Rivets on 4 corners on the back side was a manufacturing process only used from 1941-1945. After WWII ended, spot welding improved and at the end of 1945, they stopped using the riveted design and they no longer had any visible rivets on the underside. This was faster, cheaper and more sanitary. The riveted design is how these trays can be definitively traced to WWII. These trays were primarily used on Navy ships. These trays were in service during WWII and have some wear but are in good condition.
