Need help identifying this Japanese WWII Belt

[ghp95134]

Guy, you get ぢ、ヂ by typing "Di", so エヂソン is as close as you can get to Thomas Edison's name in Japanese characters.

Arrrgggghhhhhhh! And I also mistook the ソ [so] for リ [ri]. You know ... after 30+ years, I just ought to quit this Japanese language thing!

...Curious and gullible boys, who used to break his piggy bank for the "X-ray vision Glasses" he saw advertised in his comic books, grew up to be gullible fathers wishing their son could get smarter with this contraption. A knock-off version of the band sold as the "Nobel Band". Of course, all these products were scams to rip you off.

ADLG!* Tell me it ain't so!!!




*Ach.Du.Lieber.Gott [OMG]

Yes, that's it, but thankfully my piggy bank was already empty at the time, and my daughter was always first in her class, so I didn't want her getting any smarter.
