This is a nice old WWII Marvin Neitzel Wool Nurses Cape.It is marked on the tag Marvin Neitzel Corp. Quality Capes and Nurses Apparel , Troy N.Y. USA. Label is Marvin Neitzel based in Troy NY, who made nurses uniforms from 1931 to 2002.
The cape features a metal hook for neck/collar enclosure, and two button front closures with a fabric overlap.
The collar is fold over style collar.
There is a small inside pocket.
The item is in NEAR MINT condition - two moth holes that I’ll be repairing.

This cape is an actual piece of amazing American and New York State history! Great for reenactments and WWII collection.
