Lot 185



United States valuable U.S.N. ship covers 1930's -50's, huge collection of about 7000 covers mainly in alphabetical order from the Abbot to the Zeilin including everything up to the huge carriers and battleships (we spotted at least 25 Arizona's). Almost entirely Crosby's but some other cachets are included as well as unused envelopes. While there is the occasional cover with flaws the vast majority are fresh and sound, a spectacular lifelong collection that must be viewed to be appreciated.
