I bought this out of a WWII USN guy's estate. His daughter said he brought it home from WWII. It shows obvious age, but is in nice condition. I believe this to be one of the fake flags made by guys on the islands to sell to rear area troops as original flags. There was much demand for "authentic" souvenirs @ the rear bases and from Navy guys. It displays well, and is a neat conversation piece. 
This is only the 2nd one of these I have had. It is high quality made of brass with a nickel plated figure. The back is marked US. Both I have had were marked exactly the same way. It shows some age, but is still very good. This is not the portable sized version used in the field. It measures 24 inches tall and weighs over 12 pounds. It will make a great addition to our US WWII collection.
This is a great theater made WWII Seabees footlocker. It is made of plywood, stained, and with riveted aluminum edges and corners. It is about the size of a standard US WWII footlocker, perhaps just slightly smaller. The decal on the front is excellent. This is a great piece of WWII artwork. It will look wonderful in your display. There is a brass name plate on the top with the listing Detroit, 11 which is a WWII era pre zip code address. And now the best part, I found this on the curb next to the garbage, really! I am not a trash picker, but I noticed this, out of the corner of my eye, while driving my 10 year old son to hockey practice. It is really attractive, and I feel guilty selling it. 
This is a nice original example, just the way it was brought into a coin shop in Detroit last week. It is in really nice condition only needing a light clean up. The blade is very good with only a very small amount of surface rust in several small places. The exterior finish is excellent. It looks like 2 the scabbard screws were replaced some years ago, but this does not really detract. The hanger is the original one which came with the sword. Overall, this is a nice original example.
This s a very attractive pillow case made over seas. It features very high quality bullion work. The condition is just about perfect without any mothing or damage. The size is 16 x 16 inch not including the rope edge.
This came from a garage sale in Royal Oak, Michigan last summer. It is a nice USMC private purchase notebook with the EGA nicely period drawn on the front cover in ink. The inside contains some WWII USMC envelopes, but not all have the EGA logo, and some Marine cpl. patches. The calendar is 1945. This is a nice marine display item to go with our other USMC stuff. The size is 7X10 Inches when folded.
These smokes are great. They came from the son of a WWII and Korean war officer. These are not just vintage cigarettes. These are actual G.I. issue with a military label rather than the usual civilian tax label. They are mint unopened condition. They are a great item for your G.I. display.
These matches are pretty neat. They are mint original unused G.I. issue with a warning about mosquitoes and malaria. I got them in the same box with the smokes listed above. This is a neat filler item for your collection.
