Grant S. Posted January 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2014 From out of the blue these showed up at my desk for cataloging. I'm not a wing expert but according to the Dec 1944 National Geographic(page 200) these are of the pattern approved 21 Dec 1918. They are clearly marked "E. A. Dreher & Son" on the reverse.
