OD-Blue-Top Posted August 5, 2009 Share #87 Posted August 5, 2009 I saw a bin full of these at a small army surplus store back in 1956. They were priced at $1.00 ea. I passed and spent my $5 for a nice WWI U.S. helmet. The helmet cost me over one day's pay (.50 per hour was a country boy's wages) back then. I guess everthing is relative after all. Sarge, I sure do enjoy your posts. I love your chevron collection. Please keep us "fed" as often as you can! Thanks for the memories, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhbooker2 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share #88 Posted August 6, 2009 JAMES: Yes, but One Dollar in 1956 is probably worth US$10.00 in today's money, still, ten dollars would be a good deal! Am sure you will not find that helmet for US$50.00? Fifty-cents and hour would be US$5.00, still fair less than Federal Minimum Wage? Glad that you like the CHEVRON collection, will keep adding to it and feel free to download these scans and use them whoever you wish to do so, James!

bobgee Posted August 6, 2009 Share #90 Posted August 6, 2009 Howdy Sarge - Were you able to find any USMC insignia for sale in the catalog? I did enjoy the post of the surpus USMC Shakos but they appeared to be without any insignia. Thanks...........Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
