The perfect Marine Promotion Gifts, Welcome Home Gifts, Marine Corps Gifts, Retirement Gifts or Christmas gift idea for that special U.S. Marine Enlisted or General Officer be it a military retirement gift for an enlisted Master or Top Sergeant, as a military promotion gift for a Marine Corps Officer, or even as a Graduation Gift for a Midshipman about to start his or her military career in the Marine Corp. Also very appropriate Gift for Marine as a fathers day or mothers day present, for a brother or sister in the Marine Corps, a husband or wife who wants to give a unique and personalized present! The offered USMC-issued China Plates, Dishes, Cups, Saucers, Knives, Forks and Spoons are all vintage 1900-1965 and used by the Marine's during WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam!

While The Pirate's Lair has an extensive inventory of available USMC Marine Corps dinnerware which can be purchased online via our shopping cart, or you can email or call us at 540 659-6209! However, please keep in mind that everything is on a first come, first serve basis and that this Marine Corp Dinnerware is VERY RARE and does not last "for sale" for very long! Most if not all of our offered USMC Marine Corps Dinnerware and Tableware is museum quality.

The photo to the left shows approximately a 50 year span and 2 patterns of USMC Marine Corps China and Dinnerware. In many cases you can approximate the date of a piece by the "Semper Fidelis" Banner on the USMC EGA Insignia. Prior to 1954 the EGA was "double bannered" with Semper on the left banner and Fidelis on the right banner. But in 1954 the Marine Corps slightly changed its EGA where "Semper Fidelis" was in a single banner. Sometime around WWII and prior there also is a difference in the Eagles Wings, "droopy vs. lifted up" - but we aren't going to get into that here!!!
