Original WWII U.S. Anti-Japanese Propaganda Interwoven Sock Box- Dated 1942
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a rather unique piece, and one which we are sure many of which did not survive the ages! This is a box which was the original packaging for a half dozen pairs of socks by the Interwoven Stocking Company. The box features a colorful representation of a confident GI with a rifle with fixed bayonet running down a ragged Japanese Soldier (Wearing worn out socks, of course!). One of the more unique pieces of WWII Homefront Anti-Axis/ Anti-Japanese Propaganda we have seen!
The Box measures 10 ¼” x 4” x 1 ½”. The stock label is still affixed to the right side of the box, indicating that it contained a half dozen of style 1273B* Short Socks, Olive Drab, in Men’s size 10 ½. The box also features the 1942 Copyright Date on the bottom edge of the box cover “ Copyright by the Interwoven Stocking Company 1942”. Needless to say, the product was intended to be aimed at the market of private purchase goods for U.S. Military Servicemen.
This displays beautifully and would make a lighthearted addition to any WWII collection.
