The VS-17 Panel Marker mil-spec MIL-P-40061B that I found dates back to 1970 (50 years ago), but I believe they were being used long before then. All with the same design, colors, and dimensions, but long since made with nylon instead of cotton for durability. I doubt cotton from pre-1970 would survive this long unless somebody has them new in the package? Might be pretty easy to duplicate a set. Good luck!

the WWII ones are different

I think the modern ones have an extension on them.

but yah they tend to be kinda crumbly if you try to unwrap them.
