Original Items: Only One Collection Available. Collection of twelve (12) WWII sets of miniature ladies underwear, most also bearing the slogans “Don’t Get Caught With Your Pants Down” and “Remember Pearl Harbor“. There are also two that instead say “Shoot The Pants Off The JAPANAZI“. This fantastic collection illustrating the wide array in varieties of these souvenir undergarments that were very popular on the American home front during WWII. Some are marked to the U.S. Army, while others bear all sorts of other names and messages. There is even a full set of top and bottom underwear on a card from Fort McLellan, Ala.!
The undergarments vary in size, ranging from about 3 to 6 inches long, and come in a variety of different colors and designs. Most look to be made from rayon or other synthetic materials, as cotton was rationed once the war began. A very interesting collection from WWII!
