Pre war means before World War 2 (1940-45) NOT just ancient.
As someone else noted it is information intended for the reader of the comic, Because if it was created before WWII it wouldn’t say that 
and if they were boxed after WWII with old (Pre War) material, the maker would not want buyers to Know That.
