Item Description
34" long. No size indicated. Heavy winter coat made by Smith-Gray of New York. 2.5x3" shoulder patch shows Trylon and Perisphere and date "1939." Shoulders have blue/orange accents with a button at the top of each. All silver luster buttons have embossed Trylon and Perisphere. Button-down pocket covers have orange edge accents. Front of coat has 4 buttons. Three of these are embossed metal, fourth (bottom) is a black plastic button as issued. These would be at the waistline where the policeman would wear his belt and holster on the outside of his coat. Two holes appear above left breast pocket for badge attachment. Research shows that fewer than 40 police were on duty at the Fair during the winter months. First we've seen. Exc.
