About the Item

A very remarkable collection of Folk Art caricatures made of Dutch ration 'food stamps.'  First caricature portrays a fat Hermann Go¨ring holding a ceremonial Baton. Signed 'Guust 45' (Guust is a typical mid-20th century surname). Size: W 32 cm x H 39 cm. Second work are caricatures of Churchill, Rooseveld and Stalin. Signed 'Guust 45.' Size: W 42.5 cm x H 32 cm. Third caricature portrays the German officer as a donkey. In the Netherlands a donkey symbolises stupidity. Signed 'Guust 44.' Size: W 31 cm x H 37 cm.   Fourth caricature of Adolf Hitler. The label reads Adolf H. Painter 1889-1945. Signed 'Guust 45.' Size: W 32 cm x H 50 cm. All caricatures are works of art made of food stamps on cardboard in its original frames. The frames are closed on the back with pieces of newspaper from the war. I leave it to the buyer to decide about framing. Now this is a very rare find.

  • US Air Corps in Australia Vintage Military Pennant, circa WWII
    Located in Colorado Springs, CO
    Presented is a souvenir felt pennant celebrating the servicemen and women of the U.S. Air Corps who were based in Australia and fought alongside members of the Royal Australian Air Force during WWII. The navy pennant features a printed red outline of the Australian continent with the U.S. Air Corps “wings” superimposed on it. Below, the text reads, “Souvenir of U.S. Air Corps in Australia.” At the very bottom of the pennant is the U.S. Air Corps symbol. Framed according to archival standards, this pennant symbolizes the collaborative partnership between the United States and Australia during the height of the Second World War in the Pacific Theater. Following the swift Japanese conquest of the Philippines and East Indies in late 1941, the remaining servicemen of the United States Army Air Force in the Pacific eventually relocated to Australia, to join other US and Australian units, including the Fifth Air Force, and regroup. The Fifth Air Force was placed under the command of Major General George Kenney in July of 1942. Their new goal was to seize air superiority over New Guinea and gain back air coverage over the Solomon Sea. General Kenney worked with U.S. Army General MacArthur...

    Located in Colorado Springs, CO
    This is a beautifully preserved WWII Navy aircraft carrier banner, emblazoned with a welcome for the ship's firemen. The banner is partially printed and has sewn elements. The flag's field is dyed a rich navy blue, with a resist dyed white stripe and a sewn red stripe at both top and bottom. A large "WELCOME" is resist dyed at center, in big white letters. This is followed by a sewn yellow strip of contrasting fabric, printed with the word "FIREMEN" in blue. Thirteen white stars complete the design of this patriotic piece of WWII and Navy history. The banner retains its original white hoist, with two metal grommets on each side, for ease in display on the ship. Along the center of the hoist is the printed name of "J.S. Sullivan." "Naugatuck, Conn." is printed along the left and the size "2 x3 FT" is printed along the right. The flag maker, Annin, has sewn in its label, boasting "guaranteed defiance fast colors." CONDITION: Very good condition, considering age and past use. Partially printed and hand-sewn flag construction. Some toning to the white of the flag and along the top hoist.
