Original WWII U.S. Home Front Anti-Axis "Hotzi Notzi" Propaganda Pin Cushion in Original Box with String Tag Field Gear which looks to have deterioratedOriginal Item: Only One Available. 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 Americas entry into World War Two. This item just goes to show the anti German sentiment that existed before December 7th, 1941.
