The second pillow case with a jeep in two days. These clearly weren’t one-offs. There must have been a basic pattern or some kind of history behind them.

“Up for bid is a Tennessee Army Maneuvers 1943 To My Wife Poem Pillow Cover Tank Jeep Cannon Eagle etc. Images and writing on the cover are raised felt like material. No stains, color variation in the photos is due to the flash hitting the folds and wrinkles. In very good condition for its age.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

And now I lay myself to sleep, atop a Waco Army Jeep . . . There can’t be many of these pillowcases left.

“This is a MILITARY PILLOWCASE FROM THE WACO ARMY FLYING SCHOOL IN WACO, TEXAS, CIRCA 1943. I COULD NOT GET IT ALL IN MY LEGAL SIZE SCANNER SO I SCANNED 5 IMAGES OF THE PILLOWCASE AND ONE IMAGE OF THE POSTAL BOX IT CAME IN. THE BOX WAS ADDRESSED TO LENA JANE RUSSELL IN CORSICANA, TEXAS.. AND BOX WAS FROM PRIVATE C. J. BELLRINGER OR BELLVINGER ? IN WACO, TEXAS. WHEN YOU LAY THIS THING DOWN, IT MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 20″ x 20″ IN SIZE.”
