Valuable Document Envelope (96 kb)
Make-it-yourself envelope with the declaration "Contains Valuable Document" on the front and space for you to write addresses. This envelope was inspired by a 1930s document folder used to hold insurance papers, hence the "Put this in the safe overnight" line on the bottom. A flat template fitted on an letter size paper all ready for you to cut and fold-up into a nifty envelope for mailing your letters, secret plans and the like. Folds-up to a 4.5"x 6" envelope.

 

Private Eye ID Card (280 KB)
Double-sided ID card for all your gum-shoe dreams. Inspired by a 1960s Private Investigator's identification card (see original here), changed for the 1940s, the best era of pulp detective stories. Obviously, this is just a novelty item and shouldn't be used or manipulated as an actual identification card in any way. If you have a time machine though...

 

Nooky Ration Card Nookey Ration Card (1.1 MB)
A reproduction of a gag ration card made during WWII (see original here). For those not up with your 30s and 40s slang: Nookey means...*cough*, sex and "tearing one off," (a phrase seen in the card's text) also means the same.
