Another Trip to the Consignment Store Yields Treasure

The other day, I went to my new favorite store in Salem, Witch City Consignment on Essex Street. I found this Salem, Mass Sea Scouts Uniform.

The inside was the real special part. The cuffs have what were known as Liberty Cuffs from World War II. Under the collar has dragons and Shanghai China 1945. Lastly the Sailors Name, J S Cappuccio. This is beliewved to be the WWII Uniform of John S Cappuccio.



What I was able to find out about John S Cappuccio is that he served on the USS Baldwin in Asia in WWII. After the war he was a Salem Policeman a teacher in various schools in Salem and owned several businesses including Cappuccio's Liquors.
