Aviation Commissioned Officers Mess, Navy APO 720, 5c Wine Mess, Blue


Representative Images
in Canal Zone Military Tokens & Paper Chits (currently in collection)
Canal Zone, Panama, ca 1940's. Plowman # - unlisted.  APO 720 - is identified as Upham, Coco Solo, C.Z. Cristobal, C.Z.  The chit reads Wine Mess with 5 Cents to the left, and Not Good If Detached below.  Black print on a blue color chit.  The back side is blank.  While there is no ID on the chit itself, the chit came from a booklet that reads Aviation Commissioned Officers Mess / Navy 720 / Issued to Lt. J. B. Scott / On. / Not Transferable - Not Good If Detached.   At the top left an aviation symbol and the right $1.00.  At the bottom left the serial number of the booklet 3278.  The chit booklet would have contained multiples of the chit 5c denomination, and perhaps other denominations.  The chit booklet cover  is a photocopy of the original booklet furnished to me by the prior owner of the chit.  The chit is about 22.5 mm x 51 mm.
