GI Joe 1964 1960s Accessory Army Marine
Standard Fatigue Cap x12 All Unique Variations Original
What to get the vintage 12" GI Joe collector who has everything?
Listing is for a group of 12 all original 1960's HASBRO released
Army/Marine standard fatigue caps! A complete unique set is numbered
1 - 12, and an optional "error" one with no number at all has been seen,
although these can be attributed to wearing of the molds not printing the
number out. Reason for the numbering? The numbers are there for quality
control. When the caps were created, they were made on a plastic "tree"
(think of the way unassembled model kits come) and then broken off. 12
caps to a "tree". When a quality control issue appeared on one of the
caps, manufacturing could easily identify which of the 12
positions had gone "bad" by the number in the cap! They could then either
plug that position from creating caps - or repair what had gone wrong.
