GPW era cap stars? - Page 4

EricFG · 12-22-2009, 08:56 AM

Here's a couple I just got that I'd like dated please if possible. Both are 23mm.
Both stars are magnetic, the prongs as well although the enamel star's prongs seem less so.
I'm just guessing 50s for the enamel star.

IMO, right on with your assumption of the production era of the enamaled star Eric.

Also, IMO, the green star is early 60s onward...

Thanks Richie. I was hoping you were still lurking here. :)

Anytime Eric...

I see myself not "lurking", but checking in quite often, and offering an honest "IMO" when I can.

In any case, always happy to help, especially when it comes to cockardes... Gotta love 'em. They take up so little space, and they are quite collectible.

Perhaps something like this(?) - except this measures 36MM:

Close, but no cigar :D

I'll try to find some and take pictures of them.
