339 Spicer St. Akron, OH
It's now an empty lot across from University of Akron Stadium...

 

I couldnt read it....lol

 

That's what it looks like to me...I could be wrong. The name looks like Eugene S. Cramer, but I can't be sure. There's a 88 year old Eugene S. Cramer living in Florida who used to live in Akron. I would have to pay money to go further.


Nice notes! Welcome to CT!

 

looked on my xhunt and it belongs to university of Akron now...was alot of houses there....lol

 

maybe someone that served with my dad in the marines ...he served in the Korean conflict

 

It looks like a good place for overflow parking.

 

Those are very interesting. Thanks for sharing them with us! I think I would be tempted to try and contact Eugene Cramer to see if he knew your Dad! If you do, let us know!!!

 

That surely would be a treasure to find out for sure....he spoke very little of his service, he would blurt out stories now and then....I have tried to get his service records but to no avail...

 

"The National Archives and Records Administration recently marked the 45th anniversary of a devastating fire at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri, that destroyed approximately 16–18 million Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) documenting the service history of former military personnel discharged from 1912 to 1964."

Thanks for sharing. In that 9th photo showing the square note, what does the other side look like?

 

USMC records were not affected by the 1973 fire.

USMC muster rolls for Korea are available on ancestry.com. PM me his name and I will see what I can find.

 

The sixth photo shows a few Japanese bills. I have one of them, a 50 Sen bill showing the controversial Yasukuni shrine. One of yours is dated 昭和十七年 or Showa 17 or 1942 and the other is 昭和十八年 or Showa 18 or 1943. They are very nice bills but not worth very much, even in high grades.



The other bill, also a 50 Sen and showing Mt. Fuji, is from Showa 13 or 1938. Similar to the one above, they don't have a lot of value, especially in the condition shown.

The greenish bill with the ship on it is a ripped Chinese five Fen note first issued around 1957. The full bill looks like this. Some of the older Chinese notes, it seems like you have a few, can be valuable, so they would be worth looking up.

 

Cool. I have a couple of the same as you (Chinese & Japanese bills). Would be cool to know more about these bills.

 

Clayton "Bud" Cox no recorded middle just his nickname and thank you so much

 

Agreed!

 

I will have to go back into them...

 

And he was born in Christmas Florida 1921

 

Thank you so much for that info!
