This remarkable garment represents a significant piece of Pacific Northwest military history from the 1930s era. Historical Significance & Fort Lewis Connection. The “Uniform Portland Seattle” label strongly suggests this piece originated from Fort Lewis, as Portland and Seattle suppliers specifically served the growing Pacific Northwest military community. Fort Lewis, established in 1917, was experiencing significant growth during the 1930s as military tensions escalated globally, making this shirt a tangible link to that historic buildup. Such garments were often of superior quality, as military personnel stationed at Fort Lewis invested in better-made uniforms for the demanding Pacific Northwest climate and extended service wear. Crafted from heavyweight cotton twill in the classic military olive drab color, this shirt exemplifies the robust construction standards required for Fort Lewis’s challenging training conditions. The fabric exhibits the characteristic diagonal weave pattern that provided exceptional durability for field exercises in Washington’s varied terrain. The shirt features authentic period details including genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, reinforced double-stitched seams, and the distinctive military-style chest pockets with button-down flaps. The contrast stitching in cream thread was both functional and decorative, typical of quality military tailoring that Fort Lewis personnel demanded for their investment pieces. Fort Lewis Historical Context. Fort Lewis served as a critical training ground for troops who would later serve in World War II. The base’s expansion during the 1930s coincided with increasing military preparedness efforts, and servicemen stationed there were among the first to experience modern military training techniques. This shirt likely witnessed the transformation of civilian recruits into skilled soldiers, making it a silent witness to one of the most important chapters in American military preparedness. Military collectibles from the 1930s, particularly those with documented regional provenance like Fort Lewis, are experiencing unprecedented demand among collectors, historians, and Pacific Northwest enthusiasts. The “militaria” market has seen consistent growth, with authentic pre-WWII pieces from major installations commanding premium prices. Fort Lewis memorabilia specifically appeals to collectors interested in Pacific Northwest military history and the base’s role in training America’s Greatest Generation. Workwear and military-inspired fashion has become increasingly popular, with modern brands attempting to replicate the authentic construction and styling of pieces exactly like this one. The current trend toward sustainable fashion and “investment pieces” has further elevated interest in genuine vintage military garments with documented historical connections. This shirt represents more than vintage clothing – it’s a tangible connection to Fort Lewis heritage and the brave servicemen who trained on Washington’s prairies before serving our nation worldwide. The combination of its Fort Lewis regional provenance, exceptional preservation, and authentic period construction makes it highly desirable to serious collectors of Pacific Northwest military history. The workmanship evident in every detail – from the precisely executed buttonholes to the military-specification pocket construction – cannot be replicated in modern reproductions. This is the quality that Fort Lewis personnel depended upon during some of our nation’s most challenging preparatory years. Military uniforms from Fort Lewis’s expansion period are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly in such well-preserved condition with clear regional supplier documentation. This is your opportunity to own an authentic piece of Fort Lewis and Pacific Northwest military history – a garment that bridges the gap between our peacetime military preparation and the generation that would soon answer the call to defend freedom worldwide from the training grounds of Washington State.

Offered here is a group on insignia to a Marine who served in the 79th Company (F/2/6) overseas during the Occupation. He went on to become an Army officer in WWII. Included is his EGA, two collar disks (same size), several buttons, and a glossy copy of a pencil sketch of the man. For some reason, he polished most of the finish off most of the insignias. The index card establishes provenance from his son. The EGA is an interesting mis-strike that eluded the inspector and saw use. The Marine’s name was Robert Barnes Johnson. His son wrote a biography. Co Commander, Camp Van Etten, New York & Camp Selkirk, Selkirk Shores State Park, New York. CO, ROTC Training, USA, WWII. 1973, who was an Army lieutenannt serving in CCC camps in western NY State in the 1930’s on EAD. He later served in WWII as a colonel running Army Reserve training (ROTC). Was born on April 13, 1900. He married Olyve Cole Eckler. Who was born March 16, 1899. They were married on August 20, 1920. They were both from small towns near Rochester, New York. Both came from pioneer stock, Olyve from the Puritans of Plymouth, Mass. In 1633, and he from the Whitfields, famous Methodist preachers of England. There was one child, myself, Franklyn Arthur. My father served as an enlisted man in the 6th Marine Division in WWI, then in the Florida National Guard and the Organized Reserve as a sergeant, then commissioned as a second lieutenant. He served in Florida as an Immigration Border Patrol Inspector in the 1930’s. He was a 1st Lieutenant at the start of WWII, assistant professor of Military Science at Rutgers University, and in other educational posts. He headed the military training education program as Commandant at the Long Island College of Medicine. His work in the CCC was, so far as I recall, limited to two camps, at Selkirk Shores State Park, Pulaski, NY, and Van Etten, NY, near Syracuse. We then lived in one of the rental houses at Selkirk and I attended Pulaski Academy, then Riverside Military Academy in Georgia and Florida. He then went to the Pentagon as liason officer for all ROTC units in the Army. He later earned a bachelor’s degree in history at the University of Rochester, 1960, and a master’s degree in education at Stetson University, 1965. He was an outstanding rifle and pistol shot, participating in many Florida National Guard and Reserve Corps state and national championships. My mother, Olyve Eckler. Served in the Civil Air Patrol, part of the Army Air Corps, during WWII. She was adjutant of the New Jersey Wing, held a commercial license for over twenty years, and also a license as a parachute rigger. After WWII she was Director of Flight Training at Riverside, then the nation’s largets military academy. She was a member of various women’s flight organizations, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. My father retired to the desert town of Hemet in Southern California after my mother’s death on December 19, 1963, and married Katherine Law Stage, a widow, in 1966. They became very active in such groups as the Sons of the American Revolution, Retired Officers Association, and the Pilgrim Congregational Church of Hemet. My father passed away on July 28, 1973. I have Dad’s master’s thesis (Steton Univ, 1965) entitled “The CCC and American Youth Education” (32 pages and bibliography). I have no anecdotal meterials, only memory of his serving at the camps at Van Etten and especially Selkirk Shores State Park, NY. By coincidence I served as national Director of the Job Corps under LBJ. The riker is not included. See my other auctions for more militaria. Add a map to your own listings.
