 Looks like a "short snorter"... WW2 soldiers who served together would sign eachothers bills as a keepsake Edited by Cascade

Neato! I bet it could sell if you placed "SHORT SNORTER" in the title!

Thank you for your first information.
If you have information on these three people. Is it soldiers American during the Second World War?
Which could be the value of this pair of shorts to snorter.
THANK YOU

Certainly WWII soldiers, as confirmed by date of Justice's sig. It is difficult to place a value on something like this. But, a great find!

Very nice! Here is a link for more information. http://www.shortsnorter.org/You could add your photos to that site. There are some for sale on ebay (US). Prices are from $25 to $150 (US). The more expensive ones are special notes that were printed for use only in Hawaii during the war and they are more scarce. The note you have would probably only be worth $25. Thanks for joining the site and sharing the photos.  |

With a name like Dick Justice on a short snorter I bet you could get a nice premium on that alone if you wait for the right buyer... I'd put it on for $100 usd with a make offer and see what happens

The Vernon Lucke listed above is the only one listed in any WWII database that I can find. He served with the 48th Mobile Reclamation and Repair Company of the 9th Service Group in the 9th Air Force.
I could not find a roster for this unit so it is not clear whether the signers served together.
Short snorters are one of my favorite things to collect. You can trace names on many of them to specific units, locations, etc. If you are lucky you can find Medal of Honor recipients, senior military leaders and celebrities among the signatures on a note.

This really is a fascinating piece of history. How many signatures do you think would even be legible if signed this day and age?
