1940s Handkerchief Group 4 World War 2 WW2 Hankies
1940s Handkerchief Group 4 World War 2 WW2 Hankies - This is a group of 4 ladies hankies from the 1940s sent home to sister from soldier. They are all silk taffeta. Sorry for the photo glare. The only one with any age discoloration is the purplish gray one. All of the others have good even color. They are from an estate from years ago where they have been put away for many decades. Two are embroidered AAE which I assume is American Air Force. None have any tears or holes. Both the blue one and the pink one have lost their AAE and the blue one lost its star. Other than needing the AAE stitched back into the handkerchiefs this group was kept in very good condition. Photos show you each full side of each individual handkerchief.

Size is 12" square including the fringe. These 75 yr old hankies showing the old Cuban flag alongside the American flag are very rare and hard to find!!
