This unusual textile appears consistent with the type of white scarf or kerchief worn as part of historic American Red Cross uniforms. Similar scarves and veils are documented in museum collections with early Red Cross uniforms; however, the exact date, specific service division and original wearer of this piece are unknown, so no specific era is guaranteed.

• Finished edges
• Historic American Red Cross uniform accessory
• No maker or date label visible
Condition:
Antique/vintage condition with age-related discoloration, faint spotting and variations in the white fabric visible in the photographs. It has not been cleaned, bleached or restored. Please review all photographs closely, including the measurement photos, as they are part of the description.
A wonderful and increasingly unusual piece of American Red Cross history for collectors of vintage medical and nursing memorabilia, historic uniforms, women’s service history, wartime-era textiles or Americana
