I got this 1953 blue anchor cover a while ago and always thought it was unique to see a blue anchor cover with the "earlier" made pea green toned fabric vs the more minty green color that most blue anchor covers are

Could be using left over WW2 fabric, but who knows.

That's most likely what happened

Very interesting piece, thanks for sharing. Can you add any photos of the edge stitching and standard period markings…EGA, maker markings?

Closed stitching which is correct for this cover, looks to be an old roll of the WW2 frog skin with the post Korean War stitching 

 

nice find
