| Manufactured by Maryland Match Company for the National Match Co. This is one of 20 military matchcovers in the Walt Disney design (and signed) Matchcover Yellow Set (as it is known in the hobby). There is little documentation as to why Walt Disney chose any one military unit to portray, but he did so in two WWII (1942) matchcover sets. Each matchcover shows a Walt Disney cartoon character. The other set, made in conjunction with Pepsi-Cola, contained 48 matchcovers. Known as the Disney/Pepsi Set (within the hobby), and there are three versions of this set, each with a different inside printing. The inside of all Yellow Set matchcovers is blank | This is a WW2 Disney designed matchbook representing the 26th Material Squadron. | |
