firefighter Posted September 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2017 Nice. Did you happen to ask if they had anything else? Any design on the bottom, hold it up to the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted September 6, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2017 The tank on top is a Patton, I think. So late 1950's to early 1960's? Not an M60 or M1 Abrams. Yeah, and if you look thjrough it to the bottom, is there a naked lady inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted September 6, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2017 Given that there is no rank inscribed on it, and the gentle nature of the image at the bottom, this was most likely for a dependent wife. It was common to present such stains at the end of a successful tour, and the thinking was that the spouse deserved one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiques Posted September 9, 2017 Share #8 Posted September 9, 2017 Great stein-- I really like the tank topper on yours. I have a couple from the same era that are ABN with planes on the top. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted September 11, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 11, 2017 Greetings Will, Here is a picture of a M26 Pershing's crew camouflaging their tank during an M26's Crew Course. Note the "7A TTC" bumper markings. This image is from circa 1951. V/r Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
