Item DescriptionOriginal Item. One-of-a-Kind. Women also served in the US Marine Corps during WW2, as mechanics, clerical staff, and in other capacities to free men for combat. They were universally respected by their male counterparts, and were issued winter forest green wool visor caps specifically designed to compliment a woman's coiffure.This is a lovely green Female Marine's hobby hat which is identified by a stitched tag on the interior to a B.J. Vincent. We found a brief mention of a Lieutenant 'Betty J. Vincent' who served in 1951, but we aren't sure if this is her. A possible research project.There is no maker marking, but it is marked Size 22 with a small tag with the patent number. There is no maker mark.The EGA to the front is in good shape with a great white rope chinstrap stitched in place.Ready for further research and display!Shipping RestrictionsThis product is available for international shipping.Payment OptionsEligible for all payments - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, Paypal & Sezzle
