-
Original Item. Only One Available. Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964) was an American general who served as a top commander during World War II and the Korean War, achieving the rank of General of the Army. He served with distinction in World War I; as chief of staff of the United States Army from 1930 to 1935; as Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area, from 1942 to 1945; as Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers overseeing the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951; and as head of the United Nations Command in the Korean War from 1950 to 1951. MacArthur was nominated for the Medal of Honor three times, and awarded it for his WWII service in the Philippines. He is one of only five people to hold the rank of General of the Army, and the only person to hold the rank of Field Marshal in the Philippine Army.
This is a nice lot of three items made to commemorate the service of General Douglas MacArthur. They include:
- General MacArthur bank made from Plaster of Paris type material. There is heavy chipping in the hat and body as shown. It is not a very accurate depiction. Has slit in back for coins, and door on bottom to remove money, but the bottom door no longer closes.
- Very small porcelain water carafe with depiction of MacArthur on side. 3 ⅝” tall.
- Occupied-Japan-made porcelain cup shaped as bust of MacArthur, hand-painted very crudely. Missing lid but retains handle. Marked MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN on bottom.
A lovely lot, ready for display.
