<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 58448, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; I had a huge stash of silk WWII pillow covers and lingerie holders that I sold. This is one piece I found a few days ago. It is from a Navy SeaBee. I have no idea what it is since it just folds in half compared to the lingerie bags. Perhaps it is for a hankie or just a pair of silk stockings. I think it maybe from the Korean War since it is wonderful yellow and gray silk. the front has a lace panel with the Motto US Navy Seabees with the bee in the center, it is edged with anchors and stars. It has silk flowers and stems attached. It folds in half and has a blue and yellow hand embrodered gimp closure. The back has three very faint watermarks which can be seen when it is turned into the light. The inside is grey silk and the outside yellow. The SeaBees where the builders who made roads, air landing strips, building and FOUGHT with the enemy.When folded it is 7&quot; by 5¾&quot;. It is padded and very soft.[ATTACH=full]15027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]15028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]15029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]15030[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
