WWII Lets Pull Together Mechanical Hitler Uncle Sam Pin Evans Novelty Co 1941 For Sale

Description:Authentic WWII \"Let’s Pull Together\" Mechanical Anti-Hitler Pinback ButtonThis listing is for a rare, highly collectible piece of World War II home front propaganda: the \"Let\'s Pull Together\" mechanical novelty pin, manufactured by the Evans Novelty Co. of Chicago shortly after America\'s entry into the war.This interactive tin lithograph pin utilizes an ingenious mechanical slide-tab system built into the design.

• Resting Position: The face of the pin shows Uncle Sam holding a hangman\'s rope next to a large tree trunk, featuring a bright yellow sign reading \"LET\'S PULL TOGETHER\".
• Mechanical Action: Pulling the metal tab on the left downward rotates an internal lithographed panel into view, revealing a hidden caricature of Adolf Hitler hanging from the tree branch.

The outer lower rim is crisply stamped with the original manufacturing credits: \"PAT. APPLIED FOR - EVANS NOVELTY CO. CHICAGO\".Condition Details:

• Front Lithography: The colors remain vibrant and distinct. The yellow banner, green foliage, and red/white/blue elements on Uncle Sam\'s clothing display well with sharp graphics. There are light surface scratches and minor paint wear along the mechanical slots from historic use, which is typical for this specific item.
• Mechanical Functionality: The internal lever mechanism moves freely and smoothly. The hidden Hitler figure drops down cleanly into view and slides completely out of sight when the tab is pushed back up. The small original string remnant is still attached to the left-hand pull tab loop.
• Reverse Side: The back of the pin features a natural, uncleaned vintage gold/bronze patina with moderate oxidation and surface aging. The original vertical pinback wire is entirely intact, straight, and fastens firmly into the catch.
• Please review all macro photographs closely to inspect the rim stamping, edge details, and mechanical alignment before purchasing.
