Item description

Own a genuine piece of WWII-era history with this scarce vintage 1940s deadstock boys' set. This special collection was found in an old general store near Gettysburg, PA, a location famously featured on the TV show American Pickers. This unworn, two-piece suit is a great example of ww2 era children's fashion, complete with its original labels. This charming 100% cotton set features a white shirt with a striking blue collar trimmed in nautical-style white stripes, and matching blue shorts. The shirt has three front buttons.. The shorts attach with four buttons at the waist. These may have storage discoloration, but should wash out. This piece is a true collectible, offering a tangible link to a bygone era and a popular piece of television history. An incredible piece of historical context is found on the original label: OPA Retail Ceiling Price: The Office of Price Administration was a U.S. government agency created during WWII to control inflation. The price on the label, "$2.20," was the legal maximum price for this item, a fascinating detail of wartime economic policy. W.P.B. 578 B: This almost certainly refers to the War Production Board, an agency that regulated the production and distribution of materials and fuel for the war effort. The number is likely a specific product code used for tracking. Available Sizes: 3,4 and 6 (one of each). Please specify your size choice when ordering.
