      Some of the emblems came out mid ww2 so it should be definitely WW2 period.

      Just Received the CATALOG ++++ Looks like all the photo pages are SHOWN ABOVE Although I did notice some interesting ITEMS and NOTES One is the ARMY MINE PLANTER COLLAR I would never have Guessed OR is this a misprint ? Next is this notation on the PRICE page for the ROTC items Look to be PRE WAR But offered with CLUTCH BACK / SCREW BACK OR SAFETY CATCH AND note the AMCRAFT / ACID TEST cut-out ? is this referring to notation being added on back in the cut-out ?

      That is a very nice collection of knives!   When I was a child my father sold and collected many Gerber knives. I had Gerbers, Benchmarks, and Blackie Collin’s  knives… along with Randall’s, Liles, Coopers, Ray Beers and the list goes on. Today I only have 3 of the hundreds we had. I think I still have all the marketing book salesman pages.

      Just wanted to mention that Zippo also made belt buckles, usually for Navy ships. Here’s an example:     In new condition these usually sell on eBay for ~$25 to ~$50.

      Probably civilian buttons but the near spherical shape suggests military. (It's the spheroid buttons that caused brits to call the soldiers wearing them doughboys, the British term for a round food made of dough maybe like hush puppies.)   An old post says the backmark, Waterbury Co's Inc. started in 1944.   WateWater

      It was also THE bag for Special Forces.  In fact, they carried that bag in canvas through the 80s.

      Although often mislabeled as a Tank Destroyer unit, the 68thTank Battalion served in combat in the ETO as part of the 6th Armored Division. Campaign credits include; Lorient, Nancy, Battle of Bulge, and the Siegfried Line. The first attachment depicts the 68th's 'Toby Tortoise' emblem designed for the unit by Disney Studios. The 68th's official tactical marking was a white triangle and numerical designation painted on the hull of their M4 Sherman's. There were however numerous M4's  within the battalion that were known to have additionally affixed the 68th's 'Toby' insignia to the hull as well (image #2). I'm looking for any images showing the wartime use of this emblem (vehicles, stationary, signage, et al.), so if you happen to have anything along these lines I would sure appreciate you posting it here. Thanks for looking.
