This was part of my dad’s collection.
He served as a Machinist Mate on the USS Newport News during the Korean War. I am thinning down my collection because I have no one to pass them down to, and would rather have it find a good home for someone to appreciate. 
I offer Very Fast, Tracked shipping.
Thanks for looking !
