| Unusual Handmade WW2 U.S. Home Front (?) Armband | |
 |
3USH-29. The armband has a 2-1/4-inch diameter, highly detailed, bronze American eagle device, which is separately applied to a circular bronze border. The backside of the eagle has a horizontal, jewelry type, attaching pin with a roller clasp pin catch. The cloth portion of the armband is constructed of 3-3/4-inch wide OD cotton twill; the total overall length of the armband is about 16-1/2-inches long and the ends are not sewn together. The center of the armband has a 2-3/8-inch green linen circle, which is crudely machine sewn onto a 3-1/4-inch yellow/tan linen circle, which is in turn, crudely sewn onto the OD armband. The bronze eagle device is hand stitched onto the armband in four places using bright red thread. The purpose, and or use of this armband are completely unknown; it was very purposely constructed for a specific use, however, it has defied research and identification; it will probably always remain an enigma. We acquired the armband as part of a WW2 veteran’s estate. UNIQUE. Excellent. $35.00 |

| 1940 Olympic License Plate Reflector. The Olympics That Never Were | |
 |
3USH-33. 3-1/2-inch diameter, matte silver colored, metal frame fitted with a thin red reflector material; the red material has a screen printed design of the Official Olympic games emblem and the words, “American Olympic Fund 1940.” A short metal tab, with a hole, allows the reflector to be attached to one of the bolts on a vehicle license plate or on a bicycle fender. Funds for the sale of the reflector went to help support the 1940 Olympic games. The 1940 Winter Olympic games were originally scheduled to be held in Sapporo, Japan, but several countries planned to boycott the games because Japan was, at that time, waging an aggressive war against China. When Japan decided that the games would be a distraction to their military goals, the games were rescheduled to be held in Helsinki, Finland, however, the start of WW2 in 1939 caused the Games to be completely cancelled and the event never took place. The reflector is in About Vg. unused condition, it exhibits light to moderate signs of age; some of the vertical lines on the shield have been touched up, (we didn’t do it); looks like something scraped across it at some time and removed some of the white paint. Minor remnants of clear plastic, which once covered the face of the red reflector area, and held it in, are still attached under the crimped edge on the front. The backside is stamped, “Flashad, Dura Products Mfg. Co., Canton, O.,” (Ohio); the original sale price of $1.00 is ink stamped on the backside. Also included with the reflector is a, vintage, Official Olympic, pin back, emblem, on its original card, in its original glassine envelope; the emblem has a hard cloisonné finish and is in excellent unused condition. The card is printed, “Official Emblem, American Olympic Committee, Price .50 cents. Proceeds used to defray expenses of American Olympic Team, “For an American Victory in the Olympic Games.” The two items came together. Two very unique Olympic items with a remote military connection. Scarce $55.00 SOLD |
