Hello:
I am sorting my caps, and one of the details that I can not solve, is to identify the factory where these hats are manufactured.
Getting these plants, your name and city?
Thanks
1."Ladoga", Leningrad (one of the biggest cap factories). This kind of label was used by the factory untill early 70's, but I don't know the exact dates
2.Factory in Omsk.
3.Poor pic, but this seagull indicates Odessa. However, this symbol was used in 60's and 70's, but I think that in 80's it was changed to something else.
Thank you.
The third photo, of poor quality, may be in Odessa with another figure as you indicate. The cap is 1973. I enclose a picture of the factory in Odessa in 1979.
If you can tell me the factories of these other caps, some of them quite frequently, but I am not clear what the factory.
Yes, The first one is what I meant as "different symbol".
Second one: "Zarnitsa", Moscow (another big factory)
Third one: Another big Moscow factory, but I must admit I don't know the full name and have no idea as to what this "43 CEPK" stands for.
If I remember correctly, someone (I think Taz?) wanted to create guide to cap labels. Quite a good idea it would have been.
Here's three other label cap. The second is also extremely common but in all caps, is quite faded.
The third has not shine and looks good.
Create a guide to cap labels is very good. If I can help in any way, you can count on me.
Regards,
Well, I personally am not going to do that - I lack knowledge when it comes to the stamps on earlier caps. But who knows? Maybe this idea will show up again?
1."Mayak" factory. I am not sure as to where this factory was, but it is called "gorkovskoye", so maybe in the city of Gorki?
Btw. Some late uniforms were made by "mayak" factory - I wande if it was the same? After all it is called tailor factory, not headwear factory.
2.Another from Moscow. Also "Zarnica".
3.??? No idea. I have never seen this one and it is hard to read what's written there. That shape in the upper part makes me think of a headwear factory in Kiev (thay had some astract symbol for quite some time), but I think something else is written there. Could You try to take a picture without flash?
All-muell Thanks for your cooperation.
I have other labels but the flash or wear the cap prevents proper identification.
Make new photos and send.
Thanks again
