The neatest thing I ever found in a radio was in an ART-13
transmitter from the estate of a Guadalcanal Marine Corps vet.
Inside the transmitter was a personal cloth towel 
of a type issued to members of the Imperial Japanese Navy.  
The vet's son recognized the item and said his father had 
picked it up off the beach near Savo Sound.  It is printed
with an IJN motif and other Japanese writing.  Pretty cool.
