Kennedy: PT-109 Boat Commander\" in its original box.\r\n\r\nThe toy includes a plastic male doll with brown hair dressed in World War II era clothing of khaki pants, a tan jacket, and brown plastic shoes; doll has brown pleather gun holster on right hip. Plastic-coated metal twist ties hold the doll in place at the wrists, ankles, and around the neck. Encased beneath molded plastic behind the doll and along the back side of the inside of the box are other plastic toy components including a gun, knife, hat, sunglasses, dog tags, map, and coconut. The toy coconut is disproportionate to the rest of the plastic toys; it is very large. The toy coconut has a gold foil sign below it that reads \"Includes: / Replica of JFK's / Rescue Message!\". The toy coconut has writing carved into the surface: \"NAURU [sic] ISL / COMMANDER / NATIVE KNOWS POSIT / HE CAN PILOT / 11 ALIVE / NEED SMALL BOAT / KENNEDY\"; this is meant to be a replica of the coconut President Kennedy used to communicate his need for rescue during World War II. \r\n\r\nThe lower half of the inside of the box has two staggered layers of full-color printed cardboard with graphics of water on the lower layer and an image of the PT-109 boat moving through the water on the upper layer. The doll is in front of both layers of cardboard graphics.\r\n\r\nThe box has a hard, clear, plastic window on most of the front so the contents can be seen. The logo of the toy brand \"GI JOE\" is printed on all sides of the box in red and white with the \"J\" dotted with the head of a scarred soldier wearing a camouflaged helmet. The lower quarter of the front of the box is cardboard with text \"JOHN F. KENNEDY: PT 109 BOAT / COMMANDER\" and the color photograph of Kennedy seated shirtless at the front of the boat. The reverse of the box has the same photograph in black and white printed on the top third with white text set against a black ground. The text tells the story of Kennedy and the torpedoing of his PT-109 boat during World War II. (See Media Attachments for details of all box graphics and text.)\r\n\r\nBox has some color loss throughout; plastic on front is dented on at side edges. Bottom and top of box have clear adhesive tape across flap openings; bottom is still taped closed, tape has been cut open on top. Stains on clear plastic on front of box. Cardboard has small tears in some places; corners are dented and have color loss. Contents of inside of box appear to be in good condition; plastic molded over smaller toy components is severely yellowed.
