Nurses' Capes really all look pretty much the same, so I only have clues from the label to help me date this piece. I did find the company was sold in the 1960's, but forgot to bookmark the page and now I can't find it. :(
Credited from WW II to the early 60's.... all the Bruck's labels I've found read:
NURSES' APPAREL
Bruck's
Bruck's Nurses Outfitting Co. - Inc.
I haven't been able to find a label like the one on my nurses' cape which simply reads:
Bruck's NURSES' APPAREL
Is this an older label/date because there is no "Inc." on my label? My guess is "yes" but I'm thinking of "registered trademarks" and don't know if the same is true for incorporation of companies.
A couple of additional differences in this cape from what I've seen are the neckline trim and the reversible tabs. Many thanks for any help on this one!
