trenchfoot Posted May 11, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2021 That's an odd one. I don't know the significance but it looks to be a post war addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Miller Posted January 11, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2022 Valspar Paints used these to show their paint for in store displays. They show up from time to time on eBay with the original labels intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I’ve wondered if the intent was to sell paint for the purpose of decorating helmets after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aef1917 Posted February 15, 2022 Share #9 Posted February 15, 2022 I always thought they were probably sales samples for automotive finishes or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
