RustyCanteen Posted June 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2013 Here is a 1960's Army Officer's Blue Cap I thought might be worth sharing photos of, the camera didn't really pick up the vibrancy of the bullion leaves on the band, the hat almost looks new. I thought it looked better than the men's version by having the leaves on the band instead of the visor, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted June 3, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2013 Super quality! We see very little by way of female items on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted June 3, 2013 Thank you both for your comments. Ian, it's a shame we do not see more posted; surely there are more items hiding in collections? RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted June 3, 2013 The guys are too coy to admit to a liking for female uniforms!! Good point, I also wonder if the collectors feel there isn't enough interest to dig them out and post them? We'll have to work on changing that.

Terry K. Posted June 3, 2013 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2013 Hey now! I collect female uniforms! Don't get any ideas! I wish I had the money to get more and the accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks! No problem, I would really like to see more posted! How about it everyone, let's see what you have hiding in your collections! I don't care if it's one piece or one-thousand, if we don't see it then we can't appreciate it. Please share them with us.

RustyCanteen Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted June 3, 2013 Hey now! I collect female uniforms! Don't get any ideas! I wish I had the money to get more and the accessories. Feel free to share them with the forum. I have to say, this is an under appreciated area of the forum; let's remember and honor the women who served by getting this stuff out of boxes in the back of a collection room and onto the forum!

RustyCanteen Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted June 4, 2013 Does anyone have a complete uniform for this hat to share with us, or any other hats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted June 4, 2013 Amazingly enough, I can't seem to find a 1960s period photo showing the women's Army blue uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmar Posted July 25, 2013 Share #13 Posted July 25, 2013 Hi RC and all fellow members, Thank you RC for starting this thread, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful cap you posted, a pristine example. Our own dear Kat pointed me to this thread today. I had shared with her a recent addition to my collection and she suggested I post it here. I hope you all enjoy. This is a 1950's USMC EW Cap, in beautiful condition. The nice thing is that it is IDed. Her name was/is Irene G Woodbury who served in the Corps from 1956 through 1958. Stationed at Quantico, during her career she was assigned to WmServBn MCS, D Co HQBn MCS and WM Co HqBn MCS. She ended her stint as a Corporal. She did not re-enlist as she got married! I have several shots that will hopefully be of use to others for future reference. Best wishes to everyone! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
