Galapago?

Post by RyanB »

Found a USMC ringer today.

The tag is in pretty bad shape but I can see an "L" a little turtle and I guess "Galapago" on it. Makes sense with the turtle...

There's no copyright or anything. Any help is appreciated.

Would it be possible to date this shirt based on it's construction, Jimmy?

Maybe - never gotten that into type of research.

Ringers were introduced in the late 1960s and blew up in the 70s.

Probably from the 70s.
