Hello! This is my first post. Thank you for having me!

I do not own this photo and the owner hasn't a clue to who these folks are or when this was taken. Can you help?

I have my ideas but need yours and/or a firm determination.

Thank you!

Not Navy or military. That is civilian fashion, very popular 1910-1920

 

Hi! If that is you in the photo then hello 'shipmate'! Thank you for your service!

I suspected this as well because I haven't seen such a rating badge before.

Thank you!

It is called a midi rate --late 19th early 20th century fashion statement--sometimes they actually used real rates---and also real symbols on bizarre colors
