Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a scarce WWII U.S. home front Anti Axis Pin Cushion. It is marked on the rear of the base with PAT. PEND 1941 CPE, indicating it was made under a patent filed during 1941. We have seen other examples indicating the patent was filed on November 17th, interestingly less than a month before America’s entry into World War Two. This item just goes to show the anti-German sentiment that existed before December 7th, 1941.
These are scarce items today simply because they were not very well made to begin with. Cast from plaster, with an applied cotton bound batting-filled pin cushion. The figurine is hand painted, with most of the original paint still present. The figure measures approximately 5 inches tall. This example is in great shape, with just some chipping around the edge of the base.
These originally came in a box with a paper tag tied around the neck, however this has lost the original packaging materials. It does however have a small ad from the June 1996 edition of ANTIQUE REVIEW, showing a similar example listed for sale.
A great item to add to a WWII collection! Certainly a conversation piece in its own right. These are getting harder and harder to find every year.
