<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 67641, member: 54&quot;]There&#039;s a whole class of Asian souvenirs that seem to have begun appearing in quantities when large numbers of servicemen and others connected with US involvement in Southeast Asia began arriving in-theater.&nbsp; The combined disposable incomes of these servicemen and support people was a huge amount of money and the souvenir makers and vendors were eager to tap into it.&nbsp; The Siamese rice paper elephant Army rubbing was just one of countless new items I saw in military exchanges, in shops, on street vendor stands etc when I was deployed to Southeast Asia in early 1970s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
