Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2020 Got this arm band and hat and apparently they go together ? Could someone please help with the kanji and whether the hat and armband go together ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Queen Posted January 2, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2020 The second photo is in the correct orientation. Its an armband for a railway employee 鐡道従業員 = tetsudou juugyouin The first word on the left side is Jakarta. Going to need a better (close up) photo to read the characters under it.

Thanks Eric I’ll get you some better photos, are the hat and armband ment to go together ? As the hat looks like a ships wheel. Also are the armbands collectible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
