6/ Crayons Go to War. During World War II American Crayon, like its competitors, modified its packaging to show patriotic themes including a set of color bright watercolors issued in 1942 showing children in tin-pot helmets and paper hats driving miniature jeeps and tanks and firing toy guns. Crayonex issued a cover showing the likeness of a B 29 for its box of 16 assorted colors. And then there is a set of watercolors called the American showing Uncle Sam smiling at a small parade of three children playing a drum and carrying a sword. All part of the story of The Color Capital of the World available here.
