Ok,, so no manufacturers tag, not a big deal.. private purchase tailor made maybe...
Now, as far as research,, try to trace it back to where this came from regionally. You mentioned it was online..

O'Connor's listed in the West Point Register of Graduates, not surprising I did not find anything, but if you contact the seller, they may be able to shed a little more light on this.. I am thinking it may be possible to narrow the search down on this based on location.. See what you can find out and we'll go from there..

As far as John C O'Connor's from New York go this is what I found:
View Record: John C. Oconnor - 42040225 | WWII US Army Enlistment Records
The site states his known grade was that of a private; however, I assume that could just be a lack of information on his rank?
