    Description

    Deputy US Marshal Yellow Armband Civil Rights Era Integration Desegregation #2/2
    This item is from the estate of a former Deputy US Marshal who was a Marshal from 1960-1980 when he retired. This armband came directly from the son of the Marshal. It is the second of two that the Marshal saved. The first one is slightly different and will be auctioned in a separate listing. The Marshal was wearing one or both armbands when he was protecting and/or escorting individuals in the following instances and more: 1) escorting the McDonogh three as they integrated McDonogh 19 school in New Orleans, LA (November 1960). 2) protecting the University of Mississippi's Lyceum and James Meredith during his enrollment and the Ole Miss riot in Oxford, MS (October 1962). 3) protecting and escorting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his group during the civil rights disturbances in Montgomery, AL (March 1965).
    This armband measures approximately 8.5" long and almost 4" high.
    The overall condition of this item is very good, especially for its age. There are some holes and tears on the felt on the front and back as indicated in the photos. There is a fold down the middle from storing it folded. The color of the felt is bright and consistent throughout the mask on both sides. The lettering is in good condition but seems like the yellow felt has gotten on it making it look a little faded. The sewn-on elastic straps are in good condition. Please examine the photos carefully and zoom in before you bid - you are welcome to ask questions or ask for more information.
    The winner of the auction will receive the name and information for the Marshal after payment. This auction will be shipped by USPS Priority Mail and insured. You might also have to have someone home to sign for the package. Please ask if you have any questions BEFORE you bid. I am not able to end the auction early for any offers. Thanks for bidding!
