1942 40th Bombardment Group--Disney Yellow Matchcover

1942 40th Bombardment Group--Disney Yellow Matchcover

(mil110) This matchcover was designed by Walt Disney for the 40th Bombardment Group and was manufactured in 1942 by Maryland Match Company. That elephant is shot putting a heavy load!

[From the AMCC WebSite: Disney (Walt) Set -- This is one of 20 military matchcovers in the Walt Disney design (and signed) Matchcover Yellow Set (as it is known in the hobby). There is little documentation as to why Walt Disney chose any one military unit to portray, but he did so in two WWII (1942) matchcover sets. Each matchcover shows a Walt Disney cartoon character. The other set, made in conjunction with Pepsi-Cola, contained 48 matchcovers. Known as the Disney/Pepsi Set (within the hobby), and there are three versions of this set, each with a different inside printing. The inside of all Yellow Set matchcovers is blank.]

This matchcover is EXCELLENT & UNSTRUCK, but may show a minor amount of TLC handling on the front. You are bidding on ONE matchcover of the Disney Yellow Set in this sale.
