Item Description
Original Set. One-of-a-Kind. This is a gorgeous uniform set named to Private First Class Oscar Charles Adams, Standard Gauge Railway Shops & 14th Grand Division, Transportation Corps. The group consists of Adams’ uniform jacket & breeches and a gorgeous British-Made musette bag stenciled on the front with Adams’ name. The uniform bears an extremely scarce Transportation Corps collar disc which depicts a set of wheels with wings.
The uniform jacket has a gorgeous bullion railroad engineer patch on the left shoulder with two overseas chevrons denoting 12-17 months overseas on the left cuff. The right shoulder bears an Engineer Private First Class chevron. The jacket has US & Transportation Corps collar discs, the latter being an extremely scarce variant, the first of its kind we have ever seen. There is a WWI Victory ribbon above the left breast pocket. The jacket has scattered mothing as most of these have, but the uniform still displays great. The breeches are in similar condition with some mothing but overall great.
The included musette bag is stenciled on the front:
OSCAR C.
ADAMS
U.S. ARMY
The uniform has broad arrow markings under the flap which indicate it as being British-manufactured. These bags are very scarce on their own but this one truly complements this already gorgeous uniform.
Oscar Charles Adams was born on November 24th, 1895 in Shirmensdale, Pennsylvania. He was inducted into the draft on July 26th, 1918 and served overseas from November 1918 until September 1919, being discharged in October. We have not conducted much research on Adams, making this a great project.
This is a fantastic identified uniform group, ready for further research and display.
