I got that rate and letter on ebay. it was something I thought would go way out of my price range but threw a low bid on it anyway and went to bed. when I looked at it the next morning I had won it and was the only bidder.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I know I have a long way to go to complete the collection.

You got a nice collection. As you know those khaki and grey rates under cpo are hard to find. It took me a while to find them all.

Nice collection. Good score on the Pre-WW1. Sometimes eBay gives us some winners. I got this pair of mint WW1 USMC Pharm-mate rates on eBay a few yrs ago for a decent price. They are extremely rare, as they were in short supply even during that time period. The brown Eagle is War time & the green Eagle was just post (possibly 20's). They are the Creme de la Creme of my Pharm/Corpsman rate collection.

You need one of the post WW2 rates with the red caduceus. Used for a very short period of time immediately after the war. Can't remember the exact dates. I see one ever once in awhile on ebay.
