Description: WWII Genuine VT Fuse Pkg of 4 Given out on Factory Tours mid 1940's.Extremely rare item. Package has 4 different designs used in the war. Manufactured by General Electric and procured by my grandfather when he worked as an employee in the Utica NY GE Factory. Excellent condition for 75 year old piece I have been a collector for 50+ years and have never seen these before. They probably belong in a WWII museum,as they were instrumental in the Allied effort to win the war. See what General Patton said about their use in changing the tactics of warfare https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Proximity_fuze By 1944 a large proportion of the American electronics industry concentrated on making the fuzes. Procurement contracts increased from $60 million in 1942, to $200 million in 1943, to $300 million in 1944 and were topped by $450 million in 1945. As volume increased, efficiency came into play and the cost per fuze fell from $732 in 1942 to $18 in 1945. This permitted the purchase of over 22 million fuzes for approximately $1,010 million. Condition of samples is "New". Outer box has some wear on it. These are inert samples. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail for free anywhere in the contiguous lower 48 states.
