YANCEY. This name is scratched under the sunshades on the barrel of the lenses. The adjustment wheel is Gutta Percha, a hard rubber that was a precursor to bakelite and plastic. Both the eye piece rings are marked with the maker's name and the lens is quite large, but the lens at the end fills the entire barrel tube.

EA32 WWI Soldier Picture-Plaque. 7.75 inches tall and 5.75 wide. There was a wire support that fit into the slots in the back to let it stand like an easel.

EA57 WWII Tunic, two pair of pants (light weight wool and the winter issue), Visor cap and garrison cap, oilcloth cover for visor, garrison belt. The tunic is size 40R and the pants are 36w 31L, Rafel Yates stood 6'2" at that time and was an engineer assigned to an airfield in England. The 8th and 9th AAC flew out of that base and wanted their own construction crew there to repair any damage from bombing or hard landings from their own bombers. Ray wore the AAC collar disk on his jacket and the 9th AAC patch on the left shoulder. The 9th patch, the winged star, one Tech sgt. rank, the Hershey bars, and the ruptured duck were taken off by his wife to make a display picture frame of his military exploits. I got the 9th AAC patch, the winged star, and the Tech Sgt. chevrons that he had as extras and they stay with the uniform. The garrison cap has the engineer piping. The winter wool straight leg pants seldom made it home as the soldiers were shipped out in the summer of 45, so these are difficult to find. If you are thinking of making a complete uniform set, here it is. $280 Pictures: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X
EA58 WWII USN Tunic and Bell bottomed trousers named to Keith Clove Workman. He was a 2nd class Medic who was in the war from the first of 42 to the end in 1945.
