UNIQUE IN THE WORLD. BATAAN MARCH SURVIVOR "SHORT SNORTER" SET.
I bought this 40 years ago from a survivor of the BATAAN DEATH MARCH. It has at least 3 short snorters and maybe more. I never got around to researching it. I have details on the fellow but can not guarantee that I can find it. I have thousands of files from over 65 years of collecting. You do the research. Hard to pack and ship. shipping. "buy it now" - I pay shipping. HARD TO TELL WHEN IT GOT STARTED.THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I EVER SAW FROM THE BATAAN MARCH GROUP. MANY SIGNATURES.
A "SHORT SNORTER" is an autographed currency bill which when presented to anyone signed on it in the future requires the presentee to buy the presenter a drink that being called a "Short Snort". Hard to tell how this got started but it seems to have been in the WW2 era.
BONUS JAPANESE PROPAGANDA MOVIE MADE WITH CAPTURED AMERICAN P.O.W.S.

***** SEVERAL YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A MILITARY REFERENCE LIBRARY WHICH INCLUDED A SELCETION OF RARE WW2 ERA JAPANESE WAR MOVIES. THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL TRANSFERS OF THE ORIGINAL FILMS BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHEN ,WHERE OR BY WHOM.THEY ARE ALL RARE TITLES NEVER RELEASED IN THE WEST. THEY WERE MADE FOR JAPANESE DOMESTIC SHOW. THESE INCLUDE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION USING JAPANESE MILITARY EQUIPTMENT AND MANPOWER AND AUTHORIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND SOME GOVERNMENT MADE TITLES WHICH LEAN MORE TOWARD THE PROPAGANDA FIELD BUT STILL INCLUDE SOME RARE FILM OF JAPANESE TROOPS, WEAPONS AND BATTLE SCENES.SOME SCENES ARE OBVIOUSLY AND AMATURE IN NATURE BUT REAL BATTLE FILM IS ALSO USED.
ALL BLACK AND WHITE ON DVD WITH JAPANESE LABELS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE. I HAVE WATCHED EACH OF THESE AT LEAST TWICE. THEY ARE UNIQUE IN THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND IN THE LOOK AT REAL PERIOD UNIFORMS,WEAPONS,CUSTOMS AND MANNERS.
THE TRANSLATIONS OF THE TITLES WERE DONE BY LOCAL STUDENTS SO PLEASE ,JAPANESE SPEAKING FOLKS ,FORGIVE ANY ERRORS.DISCRIPTIONS ARE ACCURATE WITH AN EYE TOWARD THE INTERESTS OF MILITARY COLLECTORS.
THIS ONE CALLED " DAWN OF FREEDOM " MADE IN 1942 AS AN ANSWER TO THE NEWS OF THE BATANN DEATH MARCH GETTING OUT.AS I UNDERSTAND IT THIS WAS MADE FROM THE ONLY SURVIVING COPY OF THIS FILM.THIS IS SO OBVIOUS AND SHAMELESS PROPAGANDA THAT IT HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED.3 LANGUAGES,FILIPINOS SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE TO EACH OTHER,ENGLISH TO THE JAPANESE AND JAPANESE SPEAK ENGLISH TO THEM, JAPANESE TO EACH OTHER."AMERICANS" SPEAK ENGLISH.THE JAPANESE ARE WONDERFUL HELPFUL,HELP LAME TO WALK,GIVE BLOOD TO SAVE INJURED BOY ,SAVE BOYS FROM ROBBERY,CONVINCE MOTHERS TO GO ON LOUDSPEAKERS TO CONDEMN AMERICANS WHO CALL THE FILIPINOS "YELLOW MONKEYS". FILIPINOS ARE CONVINCED THAT THEY ARE "ASIATIC BROTHERS" OF THE JAPANESE AND TURN ON THE AMERICANS.FILIPINO SOLDIERS CAUGHT WITH JAPANESE LEAFLETS ARE SHOT ON THE SPOT OR IN THE BACK RUNNING AWAY.FILIPINO OFFICERS ARE SET UP AND AMBUSHED BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS.INTERESTING SCENES OF JAPANESE MARINES ATTACKING CORREGIDOR(SOME REAL BATTLE SCENES SPLICED IN). AMERICAN SURRENDER. JAPANESE-FILIPINO HAPPY ENDING FREED FROM THE IMPERIALISTS AND EXPLOITERS.ALTHOUGH THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL TRANSFER THE FILM WAS VERY BRITTLE AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PLACES WHERE THE FILM BUBBLED,DARKNESS IN SPOTS AND SOME JUMPING AND SKIPPING. THIS WOULD BE A COMEDY IF IT WERE NOT A SERIOUS PIECE OF HISTORY.ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT EFFORTS OF THE FILIPINO RESISTENCE WAS IN DESTROYING THE THEATERS WHERE THIS WAS PLAYED.75 MINUTES. TAPE CONDITION:AS NEW.THIS IS THE KIND OF MOVIE WHICH BEN LADEN WOULD LIKE TO MAKE.***** A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL PROMOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR THIS FILM IN ENGLISH HAS BEEN FOUND BY A SERIOUS STUDENT OF JAPANESE MOVIES. HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A COLOR COPY AND THE PHOTO SHOWN HERE IS THE TITLE PAGE.I WILL INCLUDE A BLACK AND WHITE COPY OF THE BOOKLET FREE WITH PURCHASE OR

THE ITEMS IN OUR REFERENCE COLLECTION DATE BACK TO ABOUT 1849 WHEN MY GREAT UNCLE, RALPH CRITTENDEN AND HIS PARTNER RICHARD TIBBALS CREATED THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL AMMUNITION FACTORY IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DRAWN CARTRIDGES , PERCUSSION CAPS AND ALL FORMS TO AMMUNITION OF INTEREST TO THE GUN MANUFACTURING FACTORS OF THE DAY. SPENCER , SHARPS , HENRY , VOLCANIC, JENNINGS, REMINGTON, JOSLYN,WESSON,BALLARD,BACON,BLISS,WARNER AND SMITH AND WESSON ALL SOLD CRITTENDEN AND TIBBALS AMMUNITION UNDER THEIR OWN TRADE NAME. THE UNION ARMY BOUGHT MILLIONS OF CTM PERCUSSION CAPS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SPENCER CARTRIDGES DURING LINCOLN’S WAR AND ALL OF THE SPENCER AMMUNITION USED IS THE FIRST MAJOR BATTLES INCLUDING GETTYSBURGH WERE ALL MADE BY CRITTENDEN AND TIBBALS.
****Over the course of the next couple of years we will be offering for sale thousands of rare specimens of museum quality many of which have never been offered for sale before and which you will likely never see for sale again. Why are we selling this archive and reference collection? After 150+ years of interest in ammunition there is no one else interested in the field in our family. My personal collecting has spanned 50 years and I am at an age when it is time to stop and pass on such activities to others.
