Offered is a large scale Remember Pearl Harbor kerchief, dating to 1941-1945.  The middle of the kerchief includes a blue box with thirteen white stars and the verbiage “REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR”.   Surrounding the blue box are a number of patriotic phrases, including the following:

RIGHT MAKES MIGHT

DON’T GIVE UP THIS SHIP

LAFAYETTE WE ARE HERE

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE

SPEAK SOFTLY BUT CARRY A BIG STICK

MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

DO OR DIE. NEVER SURRENDER

KEEP ‘EM FLYING

WE ARE READY NOW

DON’T TREAD ON ME

FREEDOM SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THIS EARTH

DAMN THE TORPEDOES FULL SPEED AHEAD

This kerchief would have been displayed in a home, similar to how a service flag is displayed.  The verbiage of the overprinting, the image, and the colors combine to make a wonderful display piece.    

Conservation Process: This kerchief was hand sewn to cotton fabric, and both were hand sewn to a mounting board.  To prevent the black dye in the cotton fabric from seeping into the kerchief, it was first washed in a standard wash and then in a dye setting wash.  The kerchief is positioned behind Optium Museum Acrylic.

Frame: This offering is in our Large Reclaimed Wood Frame. 

Condition Report: This kerchief is in excellent condition and presents perfectly.
