Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4367303 |
Nurse’s Wool Cape. It is grey with red lining. From my research I think it is a nurse’s cape. It is 100% wool and made by C.E. Ward Company. Condition is like New. It has no tears, stains, or smell. The buttons have two men shaking hands and the words United We Stand Divided We Fall on the front. On the back they are stamped with the words Superior Quality. The collar has S J I stitched on both sides. The inside has the name Wilma Giesler stitched on a label. It still has the hangi...ng chain at the neck with no missing stitches. It has small black buttons on the underside of the gold buttons. Please look closely at the pictures for details. The cape is about 31 inches long from the shoulder to the hem. I do not have any history from it because I found it at an estate sale. I have done some research but I am not an expert. Please email me with any questions about the item or if you need more pictures. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. This is from a smoke free and pet free home. Thanks!A EBay person: barryinlex (1, 293Red Star) said this:The Kentucky state seal buttons piqued my curiosity...from what I could find, Wilma Giesler was accepted at the Nazareth School of Nursing at the St Joseph Infirmary (in Louisville, KY I believe) in Aug 1949. I thought the buttons looked a bit too new for Civil War. Still a very neat and well preserved item!!!
