M.C.A.S. El Toro - insignia

The first item in this post was acquired a couple of months ago. The image shows part of the cover of a hardcover unit history yearbook-type book, published for men who served at Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro, California. The book is filled with numerous black and white photos of the base and some of the units that trained or were stationed there.


At one point in time the servicemen added a rather large anatomical part to the bull, which was eventually removed upon orders emanating from higher up the command chain. The second item is a matchbook cover with an image of the design that I have had in my collection for years.

Disney Christmas card

Walt Disney began issuing corporate Christmas cards in the early 1930s. Beginning in the late 30s the cards often promoted the current or soon to be released animated feature film. This post shows the 1943 card.


The images come to us via my friend Lance Fontenot, who owns a near complete run of Disney corporate Christmas cards.
