This listing represents a very poignant, WWI US Home Front Sweetheart Piece. You have a patriotic holder for letters and pictures sent home from a doughboy overseas to his sweetheart. The embroidery is spectacular and colors are vibrant. When folded, the letter holder displays an American Flag with the words, Long May It Wave. Below is USA for either our country or US Army. When you open up the letter holder you have a 48 Star Flag that constitutes the pouch for the pictures and letters. Above is a scene showing the soldier with his sweetheart, and the soldier standing guard with his rifle and campaign cap. T is a sentiment entitled Sweet Memories and an Eagle over this. T is a lot going on with this nostalgic item. T colors are vibrant and the wording is legible. T is wear to the cover (the item is at least ninety-one years old). It crosses several genres of collection including WWI, the AEF, Home Front, Army, Sweetheart items, and 48 Star Flags. The winning bidder may opt for First Class Postage with Padded Bag and tracking slip in lieu of the standard Priority Mail option. I specialize in WWII militaria; however, on occasion I do diversify within my listings. Amongst my WWII items this week, I am listing a number of caps, uniform items, field gear, insignia, ribbons, home front items, etc., this week. Please do a seller-search using my Ebay username martinolij to check it out. Thank you. Please read this section carefully for adhering to the terms of the listing as the winning bidder is entering into a legal contract. Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listing’s conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Items will ship when the funds clear to my account. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip. I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag so a delivery tracking slip can be used. The cost of First Class includes the padded pad. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal purchases of $250 and larger, a signature return receipt/tracking and insurance are mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. Shipping options will be provided. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items ($250 or over) are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat One Rate Envelope or First Class Mail International (the cost of the First Class includes a padded bag). Surface mail is not an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. Pay Pal is the accepted method of payment. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war, authors, artists, teachers, museum curators, etc. You are encouraged to email with questions. I will try my best to answer all those that are received by Friday. (I am not always available on weekends when the items close.) If you perceive a discrepancy between the photos and description you should bring this to my attention for clarification before you bid. When bidding, consider what the item is worth and what you can afford. A winning bid represents a legal and binding contract. All winning bidders are required to provide contact information within three business days of the listing’s conclusion or the transaction can be voided and I will file a non-payment complaint. This means I need your full name and shipping address to validate you as the winning bidder. It is also a basic courtesy that is appreciated. Failure to pay will result in a No... read more
