KurtA Posted June 3, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2019 I'd say they're WW2 era. The triangle within the round globe is for US Coast & Geodetic Survey. Those are rather scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTI1610 Posted June 3, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2019 The pieces in your first post are Navy Nurse Corps. In the second post: - The one with caduceus superimposed on anchor is U.S. Public Health Service. - The pair to the right of the U.S. C&GS are USN Supply Corps. - The stars are USN line officers. - The one in the cellophane is not easy to see but looks like USN Civil Engineer Corps. - The three-bladed propeller indicates USN Machinist warrant officer (or possibly an engineer in one of the other sea services). - The silver crescent moon looks like an Army Transportation Corps steward insignia. - Have no idea what the Chief Steward is.

joeclown Posted June 7, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 7, 2019 I believe the Chief Steward is the messman steward rate prior to WW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
