Description
Vintage Sweetheart Pillow Cover from World War II. These satiny, sentimental souvenirs from our US military ports stand today as quirky and meaningful reminders of our nation's past and the lives of the people who served. "To Mother," "To My Wife," "To Sister" or sometimes just featuring area tourist attractions, the pillows were sent back as sweet and consoling tokens of caring during tough times. Many feature images of heavy military machinery, flags and eagles paired-- rather unexpectedly to modern eyes!-- with delicate roses and gentle poetic verse directed at the recipient. The pillow covers often support a particular branch of the military. And many feature a specific location, or even have customized messaging. All were trimmed in fringe. This one came from the U.S. Army Air Base in Duncan Field, Texas and features several flocked bombers. Measure approximately 16” squared and is in excellent vintage condition.
