Figured I would start one thread and throw all my finds and parts of my collection in one place. If something is interesting enough or a new thread needs to be created for the betterment of the community, I shall do.Posted ImagePosted Image

I rediscovered my old thread I forgot about and will start using this.Posted Image

 

A civil war recruiting broadside I recently bought that has literally my name on it. Came out of a barn about an hour from me.

Here is a Marine that died of Meningitis overseas. A constant reminder of how many fell ill.Posted Image

A recent purchase and my first patch blanket. Not many rare but it’s still a neat piece. Came with the name of the nurse who put it together. Missing a white tongue 101st that the previous owner plucked and apparently one other.

Great items. Ever think about spinning the Red Cross vehicle sign, let me know.

Great pieces. Love the WWI Farrell grouping. Also the barrage balloon pillow case is very interesting too. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Dave

Small group I just picked up to a local soldier. I will post a picture of his obit when I get a chance. It said he fought in North Africa and Italy and was wounded. The P-38 is dated 1944. Is that saw the escape ones in bailout kits?290ecd5f75253c9feb8a9e9370b7abc7.jpg
Star I think is an Italian military souvenir.

I usually don’t buy dress uniforms but some catch my eye. A traditional April 1945 dated Ike Jacket with some cool patches. 77th is his right shoulder. I’m guessing Japanese occupation made tabs. He had 2 overseas stripes I didn’t picture and Ordnance collar brass.92985eec74e8bd0fc1c04d925646a52c.jpg

Although I’ve shown 2 of these I try and only buy the “cool” ones. This one is felt on satin.
