Monkey Division Machete & Scabbard with Mess Kit / Canteen (Remco, 1963). This Monkey Division set represents Remco's early-1960s line of military dress-up accessories, produced to let kids physically step into the role of a Monkey Division soldier. Issued in 1963, the set includes a toy machete with scabbard, along with a mess kit and canteen, evoking jungle and field-survival themes that were common in youth adventure play of the era. These items were designed for wear and handling by children, aligning with Remco's broader strategy of immersive role-play products that extended beyond traditional action figures and vehicles. The cardback shows mild scuffing and denting along the edges, with moderate scuffing and crushing to the corners. The cardback surface exhibits moderate crushing, creasing, staining, and discoloration consistent with age. The contents remain unused and sealed to the package beneath the original cellophane. A well-preserved example of early 1960s military role-play merchandising, this Monkey Division dress-up accessory set offers a direct snapshot of how toy companies encouraged hands-on, imaginative play during the formative years of the action-adventure toy boom.
