Made with the traditional two piece construction, with the inner layer constructed from compressed fiber with canvas and leather webbing, the webbing hand-marked "S-3279", and the outer shell showing the early style fixed bales and the rim seam on the front edge. The interior of the shell is standard army green, with the exterior painted white with the text "STORK CLUB" over a design of a stork carrying a baby in a bundle. While the "Stork Club" name is most famously associated with an establishment in New York, at least three American bombers bore the Stork Club name in World War II along with a number of overseas service clubs bearing the name, most famous being an enlisted club in Nuremberg during the time of the International Military Tribunal (aka the Nuremberg Trials). Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection

Very good, with mild scuffing and staining.
