[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 10012775, member: 23"]I posted this a long time ago to see if anyone had any thoughts about the actual date or the item itself. First, my bio father was in Japan right after the war, but I have no idea if he collected this himself. He and my mother were married in 1945 and I was born in 1949. Two years later he and my aunt fell in love. My mother divorced him so he could marry her sister and about a year after that he took off never to be seen again.
