FREE: Occupied Japan

The listing, Occupied Japan has ended.

This occupied japan piece is just over 5 inches tall. In 1999 it was marked $55. I don't think the price has changed that much.
It is marked in red. Which makes it an early piece. The stamp can't be seen very good because of the black on the bottom. [pictured]. I am positive it is occupied japan because I have another exactly like it that is a little more readable. I believe the black on the bottom came from the factory since my other one has the same black on the bottom.
No cracks or nicks. Great collectible.
I try to ship quickly however please be willing to give me the seven days I have allowed to send out your item.
A little info on occupied japan:
"Occupied Japan" (OJ) is a term used for the time period from 1945 (after World War II) through April 25, 1952; it was during this time that the Allies "occupied" Japan.

You will also see items marked "Occupied Germany" - both of which are generally an insult to these countries. I do not have any specifics on the German occupation. As Japan needed to rebuild their economy after the war, part of the agreement to allow them to export goods out of their country was that they had to mark 50% of all items with "Occupied Japan" or "Made in Occupied Japan."
