vintageproductions Posted December 10, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2013 Here are a couple of flocked Civilian Conservation Corps patches I had sitting on my desk. The first is just a generic one. The second is for Company 1174. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyhanklane Posted December 10, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2013 I have a couple of 1918 dated M1910 canteen cups with identically stamped C.C.C. on the handles. Do you think its possible it stands for the Civilian Consevation Corps? I will try to post some pics if I can get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second is for Company 1174. Very nice, I always liked the CCC stuff. It looks like company 1174 served in Massachusetts. Here is a link which includes a small photo of a member of the company: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dcr/get-involved/civilian-conservation-corps-ccc/the-history-of-ccc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted December 10, 2013 Lance, I am right there with you. For years I believed anything that started with a CC should have skulls, daggers and snakes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, I suppose they could have been used in that later era as well. So much of this stuff was used in later wars and in government use. So you never know.

jimmyhanklane Posted December 11, 2013 Share #10 Posted December 11, 2013 Both cups dated 1918. The last pic is of unit markings, WWI I'm guessing. What do you think, Civilian Conservation Corp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
