Antiques of Memorial Day and World War II Memorabilia
A nostalgic guide traces Memorial Day origins from 1868 and its later merging with other flag days, then shifts to collectible toys and a selection of wartime memorabilia. It notes a 1875 bell toy, discusses erotica as historical artifacts, and offers value ranges for items from silk scarves to Navy discharge papers and Pearl Harbor pins, with care and display tips.
