<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Honolulu Dick, post: 993906, member: 24745&quot;]Beaucoup thanks for showing us the additional two. </p><p><br /></p><p>The blue coloring of the single is spectacular.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I&#039;ve seen it again, that $5 note brings back memories.&nbsp; We were amused by the young female shown on the reverse.&nbsp; We laughed at her retro hair styling.&nbsp; That was even retro for the &#039;60s.&nbsp; She looked like a child to us and we thought she should appear on a Gerber baby food label.&nbsp; This gave the wise-butt in our crowed the bright idea of writing to Gerber and suggesting that they package baby food in C-ration cans, glass jars were just too fragile for a combat zone.&nbsp; For effect, he wrote to them on the back of a C-ration carton, having ragged, torn edges and smeared appropriately with gun oil and dirt.&nbsp; We didn&#039;t have to use postage stamps, all that was required was that we print: Free, Vietnam and the date, in the place where a stamp would be placed.</p><p><br /></p><p>To our delight, Gerber replied.&nbsp; They thanked us for our interest in their product, stated that our suggestion [made in jest] would receive careful consideration and included several coupons for free jars of baby food.&nbsp; We wanted Slim Jims, something meaty and chewy.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the not issued Series 691 and 701.&nbsp; Have you seen examples of these?&nbsp; I can imagine that there aren&#039;t many available and the few that made to market are worth an arm and both legs.&nbsp; Interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
