I wouldn’t mind seeing that hanging from my wall. Love the Lucky Strikes at top right.
Early Lucky Strikes with red meatball - got changed to green meatball.

Always a very detailed shot and great for the time
The 'green' in "Lucky Strike green goes to war" was the green dye used in the green prewar package... the war time and later packages were white, both had the red 'ball'... Boy! you youngsters! L.S.M.F.T. to some ment 'loose suspenders mean falling trousers'...
That's why I posted the ad for you to read...to get it right.Quote:

I thought they had the cost of the M1 rifle down to $35...? Looking at the costs though, one could pay cash for the whole kit layout. Send the mudroller off in a bath towel.
The pressed fibre sun helmet was designed by Jesse Hawley and patented in 1935 it is the longest serving headgear in the US arsenal. Hawley Products is located in my town of residence and was headquartered in the next town Geneva, IL, my brother worked for Hawley in the late 1960's.

He bought a Hawley helmet from the local surplus store, spray painted it white, and never looked back. That hat served him for over forty years whenever he had to go out in the sun for any length of time. What a memory.Quote:
