Federal and state ribbons    a really nice ribbon bar   Do you know what the state ribbons are ?

Most were 34 thru 38 I would guess--- In less you were in the National Guard for years or a lifer. The largest World War Two uniform  4 pockets I saw was a size 48 dated 1941. The bad part about it was the moths had live there for years !

I have 679### and 684### and the flaming bomb is different from the OP's.

Okay, not a lot of interest in these wheels but hopefully someone is enjoying these. 😁   Here is the wheel from the USS Coronado LPD-11 / AGF-11. Love these wood and brass classic wheels.     

Thanks for the information. Great insight to the process! John

Keep in mind that this style of planchet was used on the 10 year medal (Class 4) and the 15 year medal (Class 3)   Number 227 Class 4 was issued in 1894 to Captain George J. Becker from Company "G" 65th Infantry Regiment New York Militia   Number 227 Class 3 was issued in 1896 to Hospital Steward Thomas W. Linton with the 7th Infantry Regiment New York Militia   This medal could have belonged to either of these men.   Bill

If you’re ever interested in parting with the forest alphas since I have his M-41 let me know. Frank’s M-41 is my favorite paramarine piece of my collection and I love teaching with it.

RIP Sir.

These are hubs.  Hob or Master Die are also acceptable terms.  A Hub is a type of die whose sole purpose is to create a  stamping die (a die used for stamping finished goods).  Hubs (and stamping dies) can be incuse or relief (design raised or sunken below surface).  So, these are the hubs used to create the stamping dies which produced the wings insignia.  Note, the design on a hub will be the same as the finished item, a stamping die will always be a reverse image of the items being produced.     I've seen factories make hubs that were made from tool steel that was no more than 1/4" thick.  Heft isn't important so long as the hub serves the purpose of making die.  I believe the detail in these is complete.  Hard to tell for sure with all the grime on these.    Sometimes a hub was made with details missing.  For example, a hub may exclude a city name or date.  By doing so, the same hub can be used for events that took place multiple years or in different cities by hand stamping the letters/numbers into the die after the hub details are pressed into it.  After a hub is used to create a stamping die it was also common for an engraver to touch up or add details to the stamping die.  For example, some of the fine feathering details may be missing in the hub and added to the die.  The larger the item being stamped and the deeper the relief is the more difficult it is to get all details.  Coining dies at the U S Mint are intentionally designed with very shallow relief and lacking great detail so they can stamp out many items very quickly.  This isn't true of dies used for other purposes in other industries.         Tooling for leather working and printing are much different and would never be confused with or be used interchangeably with tooling used for stamping insignia.  I have examples of printing blocks and leather working tooling in my collection as well.     I'm glad to share information and educate anyone interested in understanding or learning more.  I am not too far from where ASMIC show is this year and would be glad to meet with, bring examples, or answer questions at the show.  I won't have a display table this year.  PM me if interested.    

Thx, nice badge... It is from a civilian model, military model badges had the holes horizontally orientated... Still a great display piece..
