Err......Let’s think about that one for a minute

Okay you got me! The collection would be relegated to a corner of some room and I would still worship the ground she walked upon! Lol!

I am weak lol!
My favorite quote is by pinup artist Alberto Vargas - “What’s more beautiful than a beautiful girl?”

Thanks B-Man2
Its all just in the living room of my tiny apartment. but I live alone so it can be the man cave and I can enjoy my collection. if I ever find a girlfriend (or rather, she finds me because I give up on looking) then it will be a must she has an interest in WWII / AAF / RAF... if not, I'll boot her out of my bunk, throw her to the curb and tell her to hitch a ride back to whence she came.

I wouldnt lose sleep over it Edward

Edward, she certainly is a most beguiling beauty, but even if you could get your hands onto that time machine, you need to work on a plan to get her to worship the ground you walk on. Could be tricky. Unrequited love seldom ends well.

Does this count as related gear? I'll let you be the judge...

Got this original ID wallet with two period photos inside of it from 1944 of S/SGT Jay R. Magee of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (a good sense of humor too! *see back of photo)
I haven’t been able to find info on him...

Nice grouping...

Just received this. I’ve never seen this water slide decal before. Silver in color. Same instructions on the reverse side as the standard A-2 decals and dated ‘44

 

[B-Man2]

Did you get that off eBay?

Did you get that off eBay?

Yes I did. From the comfort of my warm cozy couch

Latest edition to my peripherals collection:RAF Tea Cup - A.B.J. (A.B. Jones) manufacturer at Grafton Works, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
This particular mark dates it between 1935 and 1949

Edward, very impressive collection, very interesting things of a bygone era. I love artifacts. Thank you for sharing here.

 

[Edward]

Sorry but this is not AN6531 Type I aviators by Willson, this civil Willsonite from 50's..
And yes, your collection is amazing!!!

Thanks. Well they don’t say Willsonite they say Willson on the frames but they’re good enough for my display… I’ve since acquired other glasses and 1940s Bausch & Lomb in the original case with paperwork.

 

[Edward]

Excellent thanks for the info… These are the kind of details we need!

If you recall my earlier posting about the Planters Peanuts tins, I have since learned that Planters was sending vacuum sealed cigarettes in them!
This ensured dry, fresh protected cigarettes arrived overseas! While they may have been snackin on Peanuts they were also smoking Chelsea brand Cigarettes fresh from a Planters Peanut can! LOL!
Tins were sent with a wrap around paper label stating that it is an Emergency Pack for Overseas Forces
This unopened tin sold for $421.30 back in December 2000

got a nice set of vintage USAAF stationary. The folder has a lot of wear at the fold and a few of the 12 letterhead sheets are yellowed, some of the envelopes have sealed themselves but... I likes it...

That’s pretty cool stuff that is rare in any collection.
Nice purchase.
