FlyNavy02 Posted September 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2020 Found this small sterling sliver tag that belonged to John [no MI] Bass of Baltimore, MD. The inscription "TYPE AB" was done in a different style so appears to have been added after the original engraving. Perhaps it was a key or luggage tag that was updated with a blood type? His WW II draft card shows he was born on 12 July 1911 and was living at the address on the tag. At that time Bass was working for the City of Baltimore at the Golf Pro Shop at Clifton Park. I have not been able to locate any military service information for him. Anyone know what the numbers below his name "4314-26801" represent? Suggestions appreciated.

FlyNavy02 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted September 1, 2020 Thanks and I think you are correct. I just found a USN style USMS tag for sale with the same numbers configuration. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
