TheCrustyBosun Posted October 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 11, 2020 I was told that the first pair was pre-WWII, maybe WWI. I don’t know. They don’t have any labels or tags but are named to W. C. Tarr. The buttons appear older than others I have. They are in great shape with no damage. The second pair is definitely newer. They have several moth holes. This pair retains its label.

There’s a named WWI uniform complete with jumper, trousers, and flat hat with a USS Seneca tally out there right now. Looks to be in good shape. Jumper has the neckerchief loop and a WWI Victory ribbon on it. No rate or grade indicated. I wonder if it’s the Coast Guard Cutter Seneca.
