tigerfan Posted May 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2011 Here is an interesting WWII homefront patch that is made of a very thin oilcloth type material. It was worn by school kids and scouts for collecting paper. I have attached a link that may explain it better. http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/exhibits/ww2...s/pdf/salv5.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted May 8, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2011 Very nice, and excellent condition as well. It's interesting that the WWII paper drives are blamed for the present day rarity of WWII era comic books. As one source put it, the Mom's of the era were quite happy to see them donated to the war effort and out of their kids hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Bibliotecario Posted May 29, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 29, 2011 While I cannot offer an example, I have seen a certificate which was awarded to paper troopers. Since the certificate was paper, this seems to defeat the purpose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
