#15 Fort Devens, Massachusettes



Another WW2 pillow cover - these were sold with an envelope called a pillow mailer. The soldier/sailor could easily mail their loved ones a souvenir from the camp where they were serving.

#13 High School Sports



Silk blend, hand rolled

The trophy reads 'Championship Won C.H.S. 1956'. Fun period uniforms - really short shorts on the basketball players. Pre-Brown vs Board of Education teams.

#12 Counting Calories


Cotton, hand rolled, Burmul Original.

Nothing like blowing your nose into a handkerchief and simultaneously being reminded that an oyster is 50 calories - which seems a little low to me.
