Vintage U.S. Navy Ensign Shoulder Boards with Anchor Device Pair

A matched pair of vintage U.S. Navy shoulder boards featuring a single gold bullion rank stripe denoting the rank of Ensign, the Navy equivalent of a Second Lieutenant in the Army. Each board is constructed with dark navy wool backing, gilt Navy buttons, and matching anchor devices representing a specialized naval branch or occupational designation. The exact corps or community represented by the anchor insignia has not been identified and is offered as found. Both shoulder boards display light age and handling wear consistent with service use and would make an excellent addition to a naval uniform display, aviation collection, or insignia reference collection.
