U.S. Militaria in Bubble Gum Machine
These items came out of a bubble gum machine that was inside an A & P grocery store. I remember I put my quarters in when I got them to try and get the American armoured division patch that was advertised. This would have been in, if I remember correctly, the mid to early 70s.
It is an interesting mix including an unusual airman rank patch, I believe a W.W.II patch denoting honourable discharge and the crossed arrows which cries special forces, but I couldn’t find anything on them.
Anyone else get their first militaria out of a bubble gum machine?
Are these things real?
I can’t see a company mass producing these things for bubble gum machines, but my knowledge of business is limited at best. When the last egg was bought that was it for militaria in the machine.
