WWII NAVY DONALD DUCK SET - 4 CAPS/COVERS + SACK, MINT! |
| THIS IS GROUPING OF 4 NAVY "DONALD DUCK" CAPS/COVERS AND THEIR ORIGINAL CANVAS DRAW-STRING SACK. THE 4 CAPS WERE STILL IN THEIR WAX PAPER COVERING WHEN I ACQUIRED THEM, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE EVER BEEN WORN. THESE CAME FROM THE ESTATE OF A RETIRED NAVY OFFICER WHO SERVED ON THE U.S.S. BLACK IN THE PACIFIC DURING WORLD WAR II. I AM NO EXPERT ON FABRICS, BUT THE CAPS APPEAR TO BE A BLACK WOOL, AN OLIVE GREEN LIGHTWEIGHT COTTON, A KHAKI MEDIUM WEIGHT COTTON, AND A WHITE HEAVY COTTON. NONE OF THE HEADBANDS ARE SOILED AND 2 HAVE THEIR OLD PAPER SIZE MARKINGS IN THEM - 7 AND 7 1/8. [ANOTHER REASON I DON'T THINK THEY WERE EVER WORN]. THE NAME "EDMUNDS" IS WRITTEN IN PENCIL ON THE WAX PAPER COVER AND STENCILED ON THE CANVAS DRAW-STRING BAG. PHOTOS BELOW SHOW TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF THE CAPS. |
