I believe this is a late Spanish-American War era “Farrier” armband:

By the way, the red color in the horseshoe-shaped “Farrier” armband, immediately above, indicates that it is for an Artillery unit. This armband is for the Iowa National Guard’s 135th Public Affairs Detachment:

A WWII or immediately post-War Army Chemical Corps (ACC) armband with the “V for Victory” included in the design:

 

 

This armband would have been made right at the end of the war or immediately post-war in 1946 when the Chemical Warfare Service officially changed its designation to the Chemical Corps. The design also includes the Chemical Corps branch insignia of the six-sided benzene ring superimposed over two crossed gold retorts (or beakers).
