This auction is for a Pillow Cover dated between 1941 to 1944 from Camp Hood Texas. This Cover bears the U. S.

Two pieces of the fringe have let loose (shown in a close up picture) but not missing, and a very tiny piece of the orange beside the black panther's left top whisker has lifted off but it is barely visible ( also shown in a close up picture).
