1940's Nurse Cape by CE Ward | Navy Wool Vintage Cloak

Buyer's Note

It seems there are several places named London in the United States, and this cape has a tag that reads "CE Ward New London, Ohio."

Located in New London, Ohio, the company was not a brand, but a manufacturer specializing in clothing, uniforms, and ceremonial attire for fraternal organizations, including the Freemasons.
There are records indicating that the factory was in operation from the 1910s.

This World War II nurse's navy blue wool cape dates back to the 1940s, but the wool is in remarkably good condition, and the vibrant red lining expresses patriotism and tells a story of history.

The fasteners can be attached vertically or horizontally, and a snap button is added to the neckline, ensuring a secure fit without getting in the way.

The "MGH" embroidery likely represents the initials of the original owner, and compared to similar models found online, it's assumed that the owner was a rather petite female nurse.
