Vintage Rare 1951 CBS Personnel 17 1/2" Cloth Yellow Previously Worn Armband:
$250.00
In the early 1950s, authorized CBS personnel wore yellow armbands to identify them during the network's live field broadcasts on the crowded streets of New York. This armband was worn by my father, an executive of CBS, at the massive April 1951 parade honoring General MacArthur's return from Korea. I was 9 years old and remember being there with my father.The armband is vintage and very rare. It is 17 1/2" long, made of yellow "felt" cloth with CBS TELEVISION printed in black on it. It appears to have been cut by hand. Considering it is 75 year old, it is in reasonably nice shape. As detailed in the photos (please examine), the armband has a few small holes, a small knick on the bottom edge, and could perhaps use a cleaning. That said, it is fine without doing anything to it.
