I had spent this last week trying to remember who it was that collected these vintage items for his office/ WW2 style.The 1940s office chair arrived today and it is even way better in person. and the "Property Of" decal is much clearer than the eBay picture showed. so nice second piece for the office. (sorry, I ain't gots nobody else ta show this stuffs off ta.)
all original, very solid.

I see that it was you
Hey Edward.....you need some real pin ups for your WW2 office. I have some originals that I would consider trading......minor update to my footlocker. well, maybe not quite so minor... I had a large 5" x 7" repro Betty Grable photo in it but it seemed out of place considering everything else in it and on it is legit vintage... I forgot to post that I finally got not only a real vintage and appropriate size (3.5" x 5.5") Betty Grable post card photo but also a matching Rita Hayworth to go with it. As it is said before, "buy the item not the story" I still enjoyed the seller's entry about these two items; "
One of four postcards that my grandfather treasured during this service in the Army in the Pacific during WWII.
She also had listings for Hedy Lamarr and Ann Sheridan but I decided not to get those.
If you look closely the Postcards have six carefully placed pin holes along the edge which I would like to believe are thumbtack holes from being in a footlocker or on his bunker wall. One can imagine it anyway! Just the same it lends that much more authenticity to my footlocker. I decided to not tack them up (using the same holes )but to put them in protective sleeves and tack them up that way.... okay so that takes something away from it so I may change that one day but these are particularly rare to find today.
She also mentioned her grandfather put the American flag sticker on the Rita card and that just makes it that much cooler in my opinion! (I paid $12.50 each )
