$11.25
World War II was a difficult time for both the soldiers and their loved ones at home.
The soldiers often sent home keepsakes to express their love. This is a US Army Hankie holder. He'd buy it at the PX and send it home.
This one says:
Sweetheart
I thought that you would like to know that some one's thoughts go where you go. That some one never can forget the hours we spent since first we met.
That life is richer, sweeter far for such a sweetheart as you are and now my
constant prayer will be that God may keep you safe for me.
Ladies used to place perfume on the fabric which delicately infused fragrance onto their hankies. We have shown a handkerchief inside to show how it was used. The hanky is NOT included in the price.
The fabric is probably rayon or a synthetic.
This treasure is in excellent condition. There are no tears. It has not been washed by us. We wanted it to reflect the many years that were in its life.
Even today, this makes a special gift for a sweetheart. Love over the decades never changes.
