Ummm OK
Seems to me, as a casual observer, that "pre-war" could mean pretty much anything. Informed people can use particular milestones of which they are aware as the cut-off, and others may disagree. I look at "pre-war" as meaning "not post-war," which is, admittedly, also pretty arbitrary, but allows me to consider 1945 and earlier on one side of the divide, and 1946 and later on the other. I guess I'm not comfortable with the notion that cards issued "during" World War II (is that a new category? "war-era"?) are either pre- or post-war, so I choose to define it in the negative, FWIW....
