Military Mess Kit Complete Sealed Case of 24 & 1 Loose Example (Maco, 1950s)....

Description

Military Mess Kit Complete Sealed Case of 24 & 1 Loose Example (Maco, 1950s). This lot includes a complete sealed case of 24 Maco Military Mess Kits, along with one additional loose example sealed in its original bag on a hanger card. Produced during the 1950s, these child-scale mess kits reflect Maco's military-themed accessory output from the postwar era, offering simple field-gear play items packaged for individual sale. The presence of an intact sealed case preserves the original factory-packed configuration, while the loose example provides a clear view of the retail carded presentation. The sealed case shows the expected wear from age, storage, and handling, including scuffing, denting, gouges, creasing, and crushing. The loose example remains sealed in its bag on the original hanger card; the card is torn and exhibits significant wear along the edges and corners. An uncommon opportunity to acquire a sealed case from Maco's 1950s military accessory production, this lot offers both untouched retail stock and a representative single example, capturing the packaging and presentation of postwar dress-up merchandise at scale.
