Greenduck DUI U.S. Army Medical Center and School

Thought this was worth posting. The Green Duck Company was a manufacturer of political buttons in the 1930's and 40's.  Couldn't find any reference to them making DUI for the military, however they did manufacture the little "crickets" the airborne troops used in Normandy. Their name isn't included in the list of manufacturers I have, but here is an example of a DUI made by them.  I can't find any index to tell the date, but without a letter-number hallmark, I'm guessing before 1950.

Sorry, it's the crest for the Medical School and Center.

Green Duck is listed as a manufacturer in Capistrano's DI books. Rare bird.
