Insigne, Epaulette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Epaulettes and Buttons, International Merchantile Marine - United States Lines, Officer. Description An account of the resource <p>Ca. 1930s. The epaulettes and buttons were removed from an old set of whites; in total there were five 40 ligne and two 28 ligne buttons. This catalog item shows only one of each button, as many are heavily tarnished. The buttons were affixed to the uniform with circular button toggles.  Each button has the backmark "S. Appel &amp; Co. * New York *."  This backmark definitely dates the buttons to the mid-1930s.  The VanCourt catalog number for these buttons is 84-11.<br /><br />The uniform itself lacked pin holes on the chest for a USNR badge. This could mean the individual that wore this uniform was not a member of USNR or the uniform is pre-1938 - this being the year when the pin was authorized for wear by the U.S. Navy for U.S. Naval Reserve Merchant Marine Auxilliary members. Most deck and engineering officers of USL were members of the USNR.<br /><br />The epaulettes are of the flat interwar style with slightly rounded edges.  Of particular interest are the strap keeper button. Both interwar and most wartime straps were affixed using cap screws - the screw-construction used to affix chin straps to a cap. These use brass nuts (pre-war) and the star-anchor-star pattern. This point to a few assumptions:</p> <p>1. IMM/USL did not have cap screws based on VC18-11.<br />2. IMM/USL adhered to period U.S. Navy prohibitions against wearing its insignia by non-Navy officers.<br />3. Appel &amp; Co. - which also supplied quality insignia items to yacht clubs - was the preferred supplier of uniform insignia to USL. Most marked USL insignia bears Appel &amp; Co. tags.<br /><br />The last point is of interest as among future U.S. Merchant Marine Academy midshipmen-cadets, their buttons were also of the star-anchor-star design and were known as "yacht club" buttons.<br /><br /><br /><br /></p> Subject The topic of the resource USL USL http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/10/137/mm-cuff-deck1-1.JPG 3b5de3a0402ffad39e82c3357b592bdc http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/10/137/mm-cuff-deck1-2.JPG 0579ab841ebf25ac7c6f1653a65064a1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Insigne, Epaulette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Epaulette, Merchant Marine, Assistant Purser Description An account of the resource Ca. 1940s. This epaulette was worn by an individual in the Steward's Department and has the double-quill marker of a ship's purser. Larger shipping concerns or steamship companies used colored cloth between lace on shoulder boards (epaulettes) and cuff braid to denote the wearer's department.<br /><br />This board represents a continuum of foreign and autochthonic symbols as acted out on maritime uniforms. The double-quill was a device at first used by the U.S. Navy for its Warrant Officers and the U.S. Army Transport Service on its purser officers' collars in 1942, and later unofficially and organically extended to boards (only to be abolished in 1944). The device was worn in the Merchant Marine community for a decade after the close of the Second World War only to be abandoned as U.S. shipping lost the appearances of hierarchy.  Colored cloth was first championed by the British Royal Navy, then British shipping, and was followed by U.S. companies and the U.S. Army (the innovation never fully suited the U.S. Navy). http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/10/118/IMG_4519.JPG 95d053405f657d35aa87c403e27b57bd http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/10/118/IMG_4520.JPG 247b14a237a289a702e88e3aafdc3e44 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
