An excellent historical reference collection of original United States Army Officer and Enlisted collar insignia from the interwar period (1920s and 1930s). This specialized display strictly focuses on the desirable threaded screw-post (screw-back) fastening system used before WWII. In a fantastic touch of completeness, the original brass round locking nuts are displayed directly alongside or underneath each insignia piece.

- Corps of Engineers: Early castle insignia block alongside a highly unique 1920-dated "triple castle" emblem inside a matching circular disk.
