Great genuine WWII US Navy blue wool jumper, retaining its original Motor Machinist's Mate 2nd Class rating/rank badge on the left sleeve and 'Ruptured Duck' on the right breast. Manufactured by Miller's Tayloring Co. in Brooklyn, New York. Excellent overall condition; complete with all original buttons.

This type of customization, forbidden yet tolerated, became popular amongst American sailors from the early 1900s to the late 1930s, particulary within US Navy crews stationed in Asia. Animal designs and geometric patterns of Chinese inspiration can be found in many jumper cuffs, so that sailors on leave could roll up their sleeves and display these pieces of art without facing prosecution -- hence the name 'Liberty Cuffs'.
