Description

Group of original WWII U.S. Navy submarine launching souvenirs, consisting of printed ribbon badges and stringed launching tags. Identified vessels include USS Runner, USS Scamp (Kittery, Maine, 1942), USS Pargo, USS Pintado, USS Picuda, and USS Pilotfish. These items were distributed to attendees at ship launch ceremonies as commemorative keepsakes during the early war period. The ribbons feature period patriotic text, including “Remember Pearl Harbor,” consistent with 1942 wartime production. The tags retain original strings and exhibit typical age-related wear. A representative and visually appealing grouping of early WWII submarine ephemera.  Other paper offered in the group - it all came in the same envelope.
