Picking through the last box of "things I love but don't need" today. Found a silk hanky from the Navy in WWII that my older brother gave my mother. Mothers and sweethearts and wives wore them pinned to a dress or in a breast pocket to show support. A silk map, of New Guinea that was part of a survival kit for a flyer or soldiers going into enemy territory along with a fingernail sized compass and a tiny saw blade for escaping. the larger item is a diaper soaker. Before plastic pants or disposables this was put over the cotton diaper, it was made of wool which doesn't wick like cotton and kept Mama or the bed dry to an extent. The wool also didn't absorb odor like cotton and could be dried out and used several times without washing. Times have changed.
