Same flea market I found this one, just like the other from around a month ago, $1 each.

Since I don’t feel like spending 100s on a nice put together one, I wanna make the one I already have accurate. I know the collar tabs are not accurate as they are dress, although I don’t know which other tabs to get.

Very nice presumably 1914 dated cowl lamp find at a yardsale for $25. Has some patina and surface rust but is in very solid shape. Inside of it has zero rust.

It’s crummy and been through it a bit but not in the absolute worst shape. Liner is mostly there, back cushion is loose. Has a name, “CAPT BERG” on it. Been wanting to find one of these for a long time now at decent price, very bad ass helmets.

A truly insane piece of history this is. (Summary of Lemnitzer): General Lemnziter was the top military officer of the entire U.S military when this he got this magazine. He was also the top military advisor for the Bay of the Pigs invasion of Cuba later that year. Him and JFK grew cold as Lemnitzer wanted to keep pushing to invade Cuba and JFK did not. He proposed Operation Northwoods which was a plan to fake terrorist attacks and blame Cuba. He also proposed the “SIOP-62” briefing which was a giant nuclear strike plan against the Soviet Union which would have led to hundreds and millions of deaths. JFK was disgusted by his ideas and later sent him to Europe to be the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe in 1963 which was the main head of NATO Europe. Lemnitzer stayed head of SACEUR until 1969. It is truly crazy how this magazine about the future of Cuba was owned by the man who had many plans for Cuba. This was a $1 flea market find.

Never knew Coca Cola made such thing until I found this today at a flea market for $1. Very cool book to help show and learn the different silhouettes of planes during the war. Also has very beautiful artwork

Bought this for $1 at a flea market cause I thought it was a nice magazine, only to realize the mailing address was to Gen Lemnitzer in Fort Myers, Arlington VA. Is this actually legit??? Insane if so

Found this today at a yardsale for $5, made by R. Dakin & Company from Korea in 1979. Original tag with zero creases on it. Very cool piece of Cold War history

Last 2 pictures is the bunker entrance/ lobby. Built in the vault utility shelter

Half war, half 1950s americana diner, both themes work surprisingly very well together. Keep it mixed combined so it doesn’t feel totally like a dreary war bunker

Still has pages in it with ads from companies like Wrigley’s Gum, Kodak, Gillette, etc

Pretty decent condition, blade is a little rusty with some imperfections but still a very nice piece, bayonet is manufactured by BOC

These would be at the end of tables against the walls in vintage diners. They wouldn’t play music but would just be a selector for the main jukebox so the people wouldn’t have to get up to the main jukebox. This one still has lots of the music tabs, lots of Elvis Presley and even Christmas songs. Original numbers matching key too for the coin bank. Really love all the flashy chrome on it.

Gladiator is post war repainted with no original paint underneath, don’t know what “02/11” represents on it, no liner. M40 is in pretty decent shape with original paint, decal has tarnished off, and liner band is still there.

Normal am not a fan of the newer Coca Cola novelty bottles (like NASCAR) but these are cool. 3rd pic is a 70 year comparison of a unopened 1956 bottle.

No liner and mangled chinstraps (not wwii ones). Looks to have been repainted a few times possibly. You can still see the war era factory cork finish underneath still. Has peace signs etched in the front and back of the helmet and doesn’t look freshly done so very well possibly Vietnam Era graffiti. Can’t see a visible heat stamp
