$11.99The Story
Original Items. Very Few Available. The culture of wartime smoking became even more prominent during World War II. Cigarettes dangled ubiquitously from the lips of battle-weary Soldiers, of cartoon characters in “Stars & Stripes” like Bill Mauldin’s Willy and Joe, and of American wounded laid out on stretchers in movie newsreels, newspapers, and “Life” magazine. One publication went as far as to describe wartime smoking as the “last and only solace of the wounded.” Even President Roosevelt, the commander-in-chief, was frequently pictured smoking, the ever-present cigarette holder clamped firmly in his teeth. Meanwhile, Ike chain-smoked four packs daily, Churchill preferred cigars, and MacArthur drew on his corncob.
We are offering a very small amount of these Jeep Cigarettes wrappers which have been filled and re-sealed for display. They do not contain cigarettes and are just for display purposes. The bottoms of each pack have a small Pennsylvania “Tax Paid” stamp.
Get one before they’re gone!
