GI Joe 1964 1960s Accessory Set #7814 Pilot Air Force Basics Set HTF

In 1964, the original GI Joe marketing plan was simple.  Sell them the doll...err...action figure :-) and then sell them plenty of outfit/accessories to go with it.  Seems simple today but it was unique in the toys for boys market (but successfully implemented with Mattel's Barbie 5 years earlier) of the early 1960s.  Each item is displayed where it could easily be seen on a store shelf - each one sewn on a card and visible through cello window or seal.  This is one of the sets you could buy to compliment your GI Joe soldier, sailor, marine, or pilot.  This particular set contains:

• Fatigue Cap (Blue, marked "Hong Kong")
• Dog Tag Double-R on WITHOUT-"bead"-on-clasp chain
• Boots, Large (Black), Thin Ridged
