Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 ignited not only anger towards the enemy, it also sparked a wildfire of patriotism in every American in all corners of the country. As the war effort was kicked into overdrive, Americans did everything they could to remind each other why they were fighting and what could be lost. A prime example of these reminders is this item you are looking at here. It is very patriotic in nature and design, bearing the slogan “Remember Pearl Harbor”. In the early years of WWII how could you not remember Pearl Harbor?
This is a lovely hand-made piece of Homefront militaria, an all-brass ashtray stamped along the top: REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR U.S. NAVY DEC. 7 1941. The three pennies bent and attached as cigarette-holders are all actually dated 1941 as well, so this is certainly a wartime piece! The bottom disc of the piece looks like it could have been an ash reservoir, but it is not.
The piece measures roughly 4” in diameter and 2½” tall. A great piece of Pearl Harbor homefront memorabilia, ready for further research and display.
