Steve Brannan Posted January 14, 2022 #1 Posted January 14, 2022 I have collected WW2 Marine items for 40 years but this the only one of these I have seen. Master Sgt Merle M Carr enlisted 8/17/39 - 11/6/45. Pre-War he was on the USS Texas. During the War He served with the 1st Marine Div at Guadalcanal and Cape Gloucester. Then with the 5th Marine Division at Iwo Jima. He recorded his career and everywhere he went on this empty wine bottle with functional dice on the stopper.
dave grunt Posted January 21, 2022 #4 Posted January 21, 2022 neater than a painted seabag. I am envious!
Steve Brannan Posted January 21, 2022 Author #5 Posted January 21, 2022 I wonder what kind of wine bottle. Maybe Mediterranean from his time on the Battleship Texas.
