U.S. Army Laundry 'Blanket Pin'

Mr. Kaufman says:

"I have a question- and the answer too!"

QUESTION: How does the U.S. Army identify the individual laundry of every American soldier at a military cleaning facility that handles thousands of identical olive-green laundry bags full of identical coyote-colored underwear?

THE ANSWER: By attaching one of these heavy-duty G.I. blanket pins to each Barracks (laundry) Bag stamped with a soldier's identifying number. That's how!

Nickel finish, very tough, 5" tall, an unusual military item.

Brand new, unissued.
