Original Authentic P38 Can Opener US Military Issue Stamped “US SHELBY CO” If it isn’t stamped “US Shelby CO” it’s not the real thing In the mid 1980’s when the US Military started using MRE’s instead of C-rations they still had millions of these P38’s in surplus!! FREE SHIPPING ** FREE SHIPPING ** FREE SHIPPING Shipped via USPS First Class Metered Mail The P-38 is known as a “John Wayne” by the United States Marine Corps, because of its toughness and dependability. Another theory for the “John Wayne” name is he used one in the army training film for the can opener to open a can. The can opener is pocket-sized, approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) long, and consists of a short metal blade that serves as a handle, with a small, hinged metal tooth that folds out to pierce the can lid. A notch just under the hinge point keeps the opener hooked around the rim of the can as the device is “walked” around to cut the lid out (see photo). Official military designations for the P-38 include “U.S. ARMY POCKET CAN OPENER” and “OPENER, CAN, HAND, FOLDING, TYPE I”. As with some other military terms (e.g., “jeep”), the origin of the term is not known with certainty. The P-38 opener coincidentally shares a designation with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane, which could allude to its fast performance. One explanation for the origin of the name is that the P-38 is approximately 38 millimeters long. However, use of the metric system in the U.S. was not widespread at this point, and United States Army sources indicate that the origin of the name is rooted in the 38 punctures around the circumference of a C-ration can required for opening. P-38s are no longer used for individual rations by the U.S. military, as canned C-rations were replaced by MRE rations in the 1980s, packed in plastic pouches. The original U.S.-contract P-38 can openers were manufactured by J.W. Speaker Corporation of Germantown, Wisconsin (stamped “Speaker USA”) and by Washburn Corporation (marked “US Androck”); they were later made by Mallin Shelby Hardware inc (defunct 1973) of Shelby, Ohio and were variously stamped “US Mallin Shelby O.” or “U.S. Shelby Co.” The US Shelby Co. version is the main one issued by the military.
