hardstripe Posted April 17, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 17, 2020 This board was once part of the collection of Marjorie Jean Mueller. She started collecting Military insignia during WWII and at one time had one of the premier collections in the US. Marge was a long time member of ASMIC and attended the OVMS shows. I had the good fortune to be invited to view her collection in 1992. I remember seeing this board among all the others displaying her chevron collection. She rarely let anyone visit her for that purpose. She was a frequent contributor to the ASMIC Trading Post and a frequent exhibitor at the Annual ASMIC Convention. Sadly she passed away in 2011. Her obituary follows: Marjorie Jean Mueller, 89, years old, daughter of deceased Clemens Otto Mueller and Zuleme Kinney Mueller died May 9th. She attended Orchard Country Day School, Tudor Hall School, Pine Manor, Depauw-U, John Herron School of Art, and then received a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art from Indiana University. Her life long consuming interest was her collections of military patches, insignias, and rare books. Many of these collections were awarded national honors. Marj was a former member of the Junior League of Indianapolis and was a Republican precinct worker for 25 years. She is survived by her sister, Janie Lou Bailey; 3 nieces and a nephew, Lynne Sweeney, John Mueller, Julie Mueller, and Sally Schaidhammer; a cousin, May Stone; grandniece and nephews, Stephanie Sweeney, Andrew Sweeney, Christopher Mueller, Samuel Schaidhammer, and Joseph Schaidhammer. Her brother, H. George Mueller preceded her in death in 1984.Services were entrusted to Wilson St. Pierre Funeral Home of Indianapolis, Indiana She eventually sold her collection to a long time ASMIC member. He began selling off part of the collection in about 2016 at the OVMS shows in Wilmington, Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suwanneetrader Posted April 17, 2020 Share #7 Posted April 17, 2020 What dates were these worn? Thank you Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted April 17, 2020 Share #8 Posted April 17, 2020 Either 1954 or '57 through 1959 for the ranks without the crossed rifles, 1959- early '90s on the dress and service ranks (in the early 90's the edges were merrowed, not cut) and the white/green and tan/green ranks worn throughout the 70's I believe.

SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted April 17, 2020 Share #9 Posted April 17, 2020 And, just to note: the SgtMaj ranks with the three rockers are modified 4-rocker chevrons. The first WM to hold the rank of SgtMaj was Bertha Peters Billeb in 1961 after the ranks already had 4 rockers. There WERE three rocker SgtMaj ranks but only in male sizes, never female.
