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 brooch you are looking at here. It is very patriotic in nature and design, with the slogan “Remember Pearl Harbor” with a pearl instead of the word “Pearl”. In the early years of WWII how could you not remember Pearl Harbor?

This is an interesting example of homefront memorabilia, a fold cap made to both advertise Murray’s Men’s Shop in Dover, New Jersey, and to encourage others to Remember Pearl Harbor and contribute to the war effort. The cap was made by the  Capital Advertising Co. in Detroit, Michigan and is a size small.

The other side of the cap has an American eagle next to the phrase, with “We’re in - Let’s Win” below that. A very nice piece of homefront militaria, ready for further research and display.
