U.S. Navy Lieutenant's Shoulder Boards with Line Officer Star, Bancroft Collection
A pair of U.S. Navy Lieutenant's shoulder boards, complete with fouled-anchor buttons and a line officer's star, preserved from the personal effects of Lieutenant Bancroft. Insignia like these identified an officer's rank at a glance and were worn on dress uniforms during the Korean War era. Project: 218173
