    Description

    1940’s (WWII) U.S. Navy souvenir/sweetheart pillow cover
    ‘Greetings from the U.S. Navy’
    Yellow satin with blue and yellow fringe
    Measures 16” x 16” - not including fringe
    Bottom is open so a pillow can be inserted
    See photos for condition.
    Item is heavily creased probably from sitting in a drawer for 50+ years. I’m sure it could be steamed or ironed flat again.
    Note the darker yellow satin around the graphics. These areas are harder (not soft as satin should be). I had a textile artist look this over and she indicated that this is likely due to aging, from the original adhesive/sticky film used to adhere the graphic patches to the satin. Likely looked great at first but over time darkened and hardened.
    Still a super cool rare item. I have not seen one like this before.
