Brian Keith Posted June 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2020 Here is a field cap in the collection of a museum I’m associated with. It appears to be made from some type of paper material. I haven’t been able to identify the insignia; it doesn’t appear to be Civil Defense. Maybe a school? The paper chin strap is broken and missing, the buttons are plane green metal. I’ve included a shot of the paper label, I hope someone can tell us what this interesting cap is. It was a souvenir of a US Navy CB who did serve in Japan after the war. As you can see, this material is very fragile; I doubt many have survived these past 75 years. Thanks for looking and for any information.

vintageproductions Posted June 1, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 1, 2020 I have had these from different home front / war worker / schools in the past. They has a fuzzy almost velvet feel to them. All the ones I had were super late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Brick Posted July 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2020 I am fairly certain this is a school cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
