Combat! Playset - WWII Toy Tommy Gun and more
The above WWII toy playset was auctioned on eBay in 2000. Atomic Candy (the seller)
described the set as follows: "This is a very rare piece of television
memorabilia. This is a childs playset so that you could be Sarge or the Lieutenent. Comes
with holster and strap with great graphics of Sarge and Lt. Also comes with generic
plastic and steel tommygun, die-cast revolver, capbomb, and knife. Everything is dead mint
unused. Comes in original shipping box.!"

Paint By Number
Hasbro released two Combat! Paint By Number sets
Oil Paint by Number Set (Hasbro, 1963): includes a 15 by 17 inch carry case box with three
12 by 16 inch pre-numbered sketched canvases, 28 vials of paint, and 3 brushes. Value in
good condition $100, in excellent condition $115, in mint condition $125. At the end of
the 1990s, already painted paint-by-number art became quite collectible - so if you
painted your and you still have it, it's got value. Military paint-by-numbers already
painted have become especially popular post 9-11.
