Collector5516 Posted February 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2016 My grandfather picked this up somewhere a number of years ago and I was wondering if anyone can date it? I'm guessing around 1900? Also, it is stamped "Fort Orange". Where is Fort Orange? I don't see any other markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavdoc83 Posted March 2, 2016 Share #4 Posted March 2, 2016 It is not a US military pattern. I'd imagine that it could date any time in the early 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collector5516 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted March 6, 2016 Fort Orange is just up the Hudson from you, Albany New York https://www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/loc/fortorange.html I found this Fort Orange but it seems there hasn't been a fort there for well over 200 years. I assume this item is roughly 100 years old so could it be from somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted March 7, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 7, 2016 The New York National Guard used For Orange (New Paltz) in World War I http://www.hrvh.org/exhibit/hhhcfortorange/ click on the about link. Also the photos have a great deal of detailed information in the comments (scroll down under the photo) I'm thinking this feed bag is NY State Guard era WWI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
