Chris Posted November 4, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2016 This is a great attributed piece. On one side of the liner is the name/adderess of the woman he sent it to. On the other is his address. Sent home by "Pfc Herb Crouse - (his service number) - Btry "C" 448 AAA - AWBn. APO-339 c/o PM NY, NY." He also sent home a few pieces of German insignia which I also acquired.

Mustang Posted November 7, 2016 Share #8 Posted November 7, 2016 Maybe a ridiculous question but would this helmet have been sent home just like that or placed inside of a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROBS Posted November 7, 2016 Share #10 Posted November 7, 2016 Maybe a ridiculous question but would this helmet have been sent home just like that or placed inside of a box? It may have just had a label posted to the exterior!! I've seen a few that way. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROBS Posted November 7, 2016 Share #12 Posted November 7, 2016 I don't think many would have stolen a piece of v-mail at that time. Nowadays, yes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suwanneetrader Posted November 16, 2016 Share #15 Posted November 16, 2016 I have a painted coconut my Dad sent from Guam to KY. 1945 with address for my Mom just painted on the backside of the nut. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodes Posted November 16, 2016 Share #16 Posted November 16, 2016 It may actually be a fireman's helmet and not police...The way to tell, is to look for leather ears on the back half of the liner, where a flap to protect the wearer's neck would attach to.....Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not to hijack a thread but my grandfather sent a small wooden box home from the ETO with some stuff in it. It arrived at his parents house re-sealed and empty. He was PO'ed about the daggers and bayonets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the question, when were the items taken?......I know it doesn't really make a big difference, but cannot help but believe lots of that happened overseas....Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
