Title

Cap badge, American South African Lines, Officer

Description

Ca. 1940s. Cap badge worn by an officer with American South African Lines; in 1948 this company was reorganized and called Farrell Lines. The entire construction has the Gemsco (General Embroidery and Military Supply Company) manufacturer tag, and the flag device is without a hallmark. The gold-fill and keeper nut are consistent with wartime manufacture of the device.
