Here are a few photos of the preparation, time and energy spent to move 1,000 uniform
pieces from the liquidated Museum of World Wars, one of the
largest WWII military uniform collections outside of the Smithsonian
Institute to Manion's International Auction House.
Located in Anaheim, CA, from 1976-1991, the museum was operated by Dr. Donald "Doc"
Peters, who served as a front line medic with the US Army Air Force in the
Pacific Theater during WWII. When Peters passed away, the museum was closed and
the collection only recently resurfaced and was eventually acquired by Manion's.
This is your
opportunity to acquire one-of-a-kind pieces we may never see again in this
number and variety. Items include everything from AAF flightsuits and jackets,
naval aviator dress coats w/ bullion wings, army field jackets and fully
appointed marine dress coats, to a complete US D-Day paratrooper uniform, WWI
tunics and British battle dress uniforms.
There is also a large variety of combat and service boots,
combat helmets, visor caps, back packs and web gear. Don't miss this
once-in-a-lifetime chance to own these museum quality artifacts.
Keep checking back for more information.
