1920's Century Sales Co. NY, Officers Rank Display Board

I picked this board up a few months ago. Never heard of the company before. All of the pieces have a snow flake backing and a drop in catch. No maker marks on the backs.

 

The shirt size Colonels eagles are weird. They almost resemble the Pre-1917 Colonels eagle but these are missing the olive branches and arrows.

 

I love the BG rank at the bottom.

BG stars.

Those kinda remind me of WAC officer cap devices right!

Very cool display. If I had guessed, I would have put it more WW2 period. Those eagles look very much like they were re-purposed from something else! Midshipman shirt collar devices, minus the anchor, is the closest match I can think of.
