easterneagle87 Posted December 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2015 Came across an EGA in an antique store I frequent. I could barely make out a maker in the cross bar of the anchor, 'atterboro?, or something like that. It was, larger than a collar device so hat? with rope around the achor. Gold in color. Is this a current model or from what era? I didn't buy it as I wanted to find out more about it. Your help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMariner Posted December 9, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 9, 2015 Do you know by any chance the price being asked on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted December 9, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 9, 2015 Would likely be a WWII M37 by Robbins Co of Attleboro, Robbins will be marked above it. Notoriously faint crossbar marks. There were no Amcraft marked EGAs that I've seen. An uncommon hallmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted December 9, 2015 Do you know by any chance the price being asked on it ? Price asked $10, am I good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted December 9, 2015 Share #7 Posted December 9, 2015 grab it, it's an uncommon emblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMariner Posted December 9, 2015 Share #8 Posted December 9, 2015 Which ever it is certainly an older emblem and isn't common deff worth $10 any day !! Interesting Brig didn't think of Robbins ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted December 9, 2015 Share #9 Posted December 9, 2015 Robbins made both enlisted dress and service emblems for covers, with the service being scarcer, and at least dress collars...haven't found any marked service collars, but would not be surprised if they're out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozer521 Posted December 14, 2015 Share #11 Posted December 14, 2015 The mark is Attleboro. Could have been manufactured by several companies. Such as: V.H. Blackington, Krew, Robbins Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted December 14, 2015 Share #12 Posted December 14, 2015 Only EGA I've ever seen with Attleboro in the crossbar was the Robbins. Blackinton and Krew I've seen use their firm names without the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
