normaninvasion Posted January 7, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2013 Still unclear as to the era of this emblem. A few threads on this one thought I'd revisit it with a discussion. Jeff First a clutch back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted January 7, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2013 Screwback appears stamped...wouldn't be surprised if it was the same post-war type as the clutchback. These were a model used in the 20s-30s...the stamped clutchback ones are seen on late 40s-50s WB cards. Likely a revitalization of an old pattern, kind of like Bell Bottoms coming back in the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normaninvasion Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted January 7, 2013 Bell bottoms! I went thru 2 eras of those. I'm sure I'll see a 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted January 7, 2013 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2013 No doubt - one of the most prolific patterns of the 20's - 50's! Seen in C clip pinback, drop-in pinback, screwback, clutchback (service and dress). Enlisted patterns exist with a wide variety of hallmarks. Have also seen in enlisted service and dress with longitude and latitude lines. One could make a collection of Meyer emblems centered upon this design alone.

normaninvasion Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted January 8, 2013 Is it concievable that the ones I show are pre-ww2 or is it accepted that they are KW era? I suppose that pair D posted many moons ago, carded WB, really throws a monkey wrench at the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted January 8, 2013 Share #9 Posted January 8, 2013 It was determined at later date, these are of Korean war / after vintage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
