Couldn't say, I couldn't tell. But even without a date what would be a good sell price for such a piece?

What's the date on the tag? That's a fair price.
I found out some info on the jacket, it is from the 8th army with a far east patch so it is from the 8th army during their time in the philipines.

There is an inside pocket on the right side of the jacket if you are wearing it. Inside, there is usually a white tag which will tell you the day it was manufactured.

Also take note of the size. The value goes up exponentially if you can find one in sizes 42 or 44. Reenactors pay ridiculous amounts for those. If it's a 38, it's worth what you'll pay. If it's a 36 or smaller, $15 would be a good price.
