I would go to this one community yard sale every year.

 

Some nice stuff came out of there.

 

I was there that I met the Ranck sisters.

 

They were the first identical twins to join the Marines from Pennsylvania.

 

As an interesting side note: they lived right across the street from the officer who was in charge of the radar station Dec. 7th, 1941.

 

Only the one sister had anything. They were both Marine musicians.

This is a cover for the front of her musician's leather pouch.

 

She kept the extra parts for her saxaphone in it.

 

Anyone have a photo of one of these in use ??

very nice M! A nice grouping.

 

Can I please see a closer pic of the portrait of the male Marine with the FMF PAC patch on his sleeve?

Fantastic grouping! You have been showing some great stuff!

 

I looked in my book but didn't see any reference to a musical bag. I could be wrong but I imagine it is a rare item that is hard to find in use. Do you think it could be a custom made piece? Is there a tag in it?

No label no tags the snaps are not marked.

 

Not sure of it's origin as far as being custom made.
