Set of 3 Each
Souvenir Pillow Shams
This is a grouping of 3 each vintage souvenir pillow shams. They are not dated however they were in an estate with an World War II era pillow sham and all the items were packed together and in good condition. These look just like they were folded up and put away as the colors are still very vibrant with good fringe, made of a satin like material. I have left the shams just as they are with the folds and will leave the ironing for you. All shams have an opening in the back to accept a pillow.
