Vintage Wool Varsity Cardigan Sweater in Black and Yellow or Black and Gold, Cropped Length

Made by H. L. Whiting Co. Seattle. I can't get a solid date for this, but the suggested timeline seems to range from possibly the 1920s to the 1960s (wide range) based on manufacturer operation dates and store (Bill Hatch Sporting Goods, Spokane) 1925 to 1969 dates of operation.

Wool construction (no fabric content or any additional tags other than the tags shown with branding and store). The wool is a tight, heavy knit, typical of this style of sweater. Chenille number 41 patch at left chest in yellow or gold, yellow or gold slash pockets at front. Tonal black 4 button closure, V-neckline. The original owner's (I assume) name is embroidered on the right interior pocket.

In fantastic condition, no flaws or damage.

I can't find another Varsity sweater in this length - it does not appear to have been altered, but it's possible. Or possibly custom-made for the original owner. See the last picture for the interior hem.

Estimated size Extra Small to Small XS to S. Please check the measurements for best fit estimation. I've listed as both sizes for exposure.

Measurements are taken laying flat, unstretched:

18" pit to pit
18" top of shoulder to hem, length
14. 5" shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the top back
24. 5" shoulder seam to sleeve length (uncuffed)
