grovb Posted June 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2010 I picked these up at an antique store. Are they WWII? I am wandering were they for officers mess or enlisted or could they have been a souvenir for soldiers. thanks, Brandyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QED4 Posted June 14, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 14, 2010 I am pretty sure that is a Home Front item, sold in the PX to be sent home to Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted June 14, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 14, 2010 Yes, home front item USN linen is all white, with the "USN" embroidery also in white. I've misplaced my officer's mess tablecloth so I can't show an example right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember anything like this being used on a ship. Steve Hesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
