Crypto Posted June 8, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2014 Found this yesterday at a flea market at the last vendor and late in the day. Was surprised it was still there as this vendor was close to the entrance. Appears to be a wall hanging or a table scarf. It is undated.

firefighter Posted June 8, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2014 Could be a pillow cover? Nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crypto Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted June 8, 2014 Firefighter. That's what I thought but there is no way to slide a pillow in. Sewn all around and no slit in back. Thinking it was a pillow cover is what caught my eye. Then I unfolded it and saw it wasn't and was marked Viet Nam. Wouldn't you love that tiger on a jacket?

Thor996 Posted June 8, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 8, 2014 I have two of these- only they are blue background-one facing the same direction as yours and one is facing the other way. My uncle brought them back from Vietnam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vpep Posted June 9, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 9, 2014 Really nice piece. I just picked up one of these myself in purple. They are hand embroidered, and the craftsmanship is just fantastic. They are just one of the thousands of souvenirs a GI could get at any number of shops in Vietnam during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
