Postwar Pop

Just after World War I and especially after World War II America experienced surges in consumer disposable income. With the tremendous push of the industrial complex, Americans suddenly had money to spend on not just the necessities but on ‘I want its”.

Of course things did change when the Great Depression hit and then World War II. As bad as they were, some good did come out of it. The major benefit was it jumpstarted America’s industrial dominance in the world and gave Americans a new start.


Authors Donald-Brian John and Leslie Pina and publisher Schiffer Publishing Inc. present Postwar Pop an oversize hardbound book that looks at the various products produced during the Postwar Periods.


As part of early industrial American culture all of the items are highly sought after by collectors today. What I find humorous, being nearly 60, I remember many of the objects lying about the house, decorating shelves and considered interesting knick knacks.


For a delightful trip down Memory Lane be sure to check out Postwar Pop. Inside you’ll find ceramics, movie and TV memorabilia, magazines, greeting cards, decorations, statues and all sorts of trendy memorabilia.
