"Pre-war" depends on the context (you're probably confused as to which war it means by now!). If you say "I've been collecting '50s and '60s cards, but would like to get into "prewar stuff" people will assume you mean WW2, but if you say, "I've finsihed my (1933) Goudey set, and want to get into "pre-war", they'll assume you mean WW1 (14-18).

David Rudd: I thought we declared war on Japan on December 7, '41--Pearl Harbor Day. But maybe it took a day to get it together, and you would be right.
