Fridge Magnet WWII Anti Nazi US Home Front
SKU: M0196
See my other military magnets.
DESCRIPTION
1942 WWII poster reminds citizens to buy war bonds to protect America's children from Nazi aggression, suggesting the threat will come from the air. It pictures children in their back yard, their play interrupted by the giant shadow of a swastika on the grass. Older brother holds a toy plane as he looks worriedly to the sky, younger brother wears a paper hat and carries a US flag. Little sister protectively grips the arm of her doll.
The artist, Lawrence Beall Smith (1909-1989), was a Washington, DC native who became a noted illustrator and print maker. Two years after rendering this illustration he was commissioned by Abbott Laboratories as a war correspondent to cover the Medical Corps in Europe. In that capacity he witnessed the D-Day landings in Normandy. The Navy art collection includes over a dozen of Smith's artworks.
Magnet size: 3” x 4-1/8” (7.62cm x 110.47cm)
Hi there.
Thanks for clicking in.
Any jagged lines in the picture result from image resolution being downgraded for the web and will not appear on your magnet, nor will any part numbers or sample marks.
The size this magnet appears to you depends on your monitor size & settings, is different for every person and I have no control over it. You should use size info provided at left to determine whether the size works for you.
Q. Can you personalize or make custom magnets? Happy to, make dozens every week. Simple text changes to stock magnets are free, including eliminating all text. Just add instructions to your payment or email me after payment.
Sorry, I do not sell magnets of copyrighted images unless you are the copyright holder.
Q. How strong is the magnetism? Will it stick to my ....? My magnets will hold a couple sheets of lightweight paper or an appointment card but are apt to fail at holding Johnny's finger-painted masterpiece slathered with a pint of tempera paint, or a stack of coupons. The magnet covers the entire back, which means it's unlikely to be brushed to the floor by a youngster cart wheeling through the kitchen.
Q. Any special offers? Every order ships with at least 1 free magnet, sometimes made exclusively for you, always selected with an eye to your particular interests.
Q. Are magnets three dimensional or die cut? Nope. They are hand crafted rectangular pictures printed on flat, flexible 30ml magnetic vinyl with a protective satin-finish top coating and hand finished edges.
The magnets are roughly twice the thickness & strength of magnetic material found at office supply stores. They are suitable for interior use.
In other languages that's: El imán es una imagen plana. L'aimant est une image plate. Der Magnet ist ein flaches Bild. Il magnete è un'immagine piatta. De magneet is een vlakke afbeelding.
Q. Where are the magnets made and who makes them? They're made in Elkhart, Indiana U.S.A. by Yours Truly. I'm a 1-lady band so when you buy from me, you deal only with me. If your order is flubbed, your complaint goes directly to the person who has the most to gain by your satisfaction. When preparing your order my goal is to please you enough that you'll send other customers my way and return yourself.
Q. What if I don't like my magnets? Return within 14 days of receipt for a full refund, including return shipping, up to the amount I spent getting it to you. (In other words, if you decide to fly it here on your jet, you're buying the fuel :). Just
email so I'll know to watch for an incoming parcel.
Copyrights and images
I do not knowingly sell copyrighted materials. Please contact me if you see an image in my offerings that is contrary to this policy.
Q. What about durability? Will they damage my refrigerator?
They are kind to your refrigerator; no metal corners to scratch or rust, no plastic sleeves to harbor soil or moisture. The top layer is fused to the magnetic base and does not delaminate. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak, use abrasives or apply cleaning products containing bleach or solvents. I've run them through the dishwasher without disaster, but they'll last longer if you keep them out of puddles, away from puppy teeth, and remember they're not suitable for exterior use.
