Nice reproduction of the 40's US bottle of 7 Up.
7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg and came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda" its name was later shortened to "7 Up Lithiated Lemon Soda" before being further shortened to just "7 Up" by 1936.
P38 can opener. Introduced in 1942, it was carried by thousands of GIs throughout the Second World War.
This tiny, lightweight, P-38 collapsible can opener was developed during World War II, reported to have been a rapid 30 days design project in the summer of 1942 by the U.S. Army Subsistence Research Laboratory in Chicago, IL. The origin of the name is not clear, like the jeep. Some claim it required exactly 38 punctures around a can to open it. Others say it performed with the speed of a P-38 fighter plane. Whatever the case, it is clear this little device has to be considered one of the most perfect inventions ever designed for use in combat.
Genuine metal lighter made by Zippo. Identical to the model introduced in 1943, typical of the model distributed to the American armed forces.
