Unsure of exact age of this “US Fleet Activity Yokosuka, Japan” shirt but it is quite old. No size, but was probably a medium at one time. Laying flat measures 17″ pit-to-pit, 24″ shoulder to hem. See all photos for exact condition, has a few small holes in back and the arm pit. Follow “29 Palmettos” for similar items.

This is an original maritime bridge equipment and naval memorabilia collection preserved by a career United States Navy Command Master Chief with 31.5 years of service. This is a heavy, authentic maritime grouping consisting of original brass, wood, and naval bridge equipment. Clock is currently functional. The hour hand needs minor adjustment and proper resecuring for perfect alignment, but movement runs and strikes. Chelsea clocks are among the most respected and collectible maritime clocks ever produced. ADDITIONAL ORIGINAL MARITIME ITEMS INCLUDED. Many items are heavy solid brass and show authentic maritime construction. All items show honest age and service wear consistent with use. Brass items display natural patina and age can polish up nicely. Helm wheel is structurally sound with cosmetic wear including scratches and dings consistent with use. Chelsea clock is functional but would benefit from the hand adjustment and professional servicing. Maritime collectors Naval collectors Military collectors Museum display Nautical decor. Collection preserved by career U. Navy Command Master Chief. I will make sure of it personally. Please review all photographs carefully as they are part of the description. I’d be happy to work with anyone and provide any information I have or can find. My father passed from agent orange exposure and I would like to pass these items along to see it put to great use by others out there. I truly appreciate your interest and support as Im in need of raising funds to relocate my family and start my own business.

This is a very large set of USN silverware. The coffee set is in rough shape with one piece having corrosion damage pretty bad. Some of the piece have the plate worn in them or tarnish on them. It hard to who the proper condition of the items because the limit of pictures. We are happy to send individuals that are interested more pictures. About 2/3 of the silverware is marked with the USN the pieces that are not marked are matching in pattern to the marked pieces. See pictures for cosmetic condition. Please look at the pictures and decide the condition for yourselves. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I will try to answer them as soon as possible.
