Former Japanese Army Photo Album China Guangzhou 1938-40 Approximately 170 photos Please check on the photos for detailed condition of the product. All you can see on this photo will be included in a set of a package. Approximately 170 photo albums of former Japanese soldiers containing photographs of Guangzhou, China between 1938 and 1940. On the first page of the cover of the photo album, there is a censorship stamp of the Guangzhou Jiangnan Kenhei Squad on June 21, 1940. This is probably because the soldier in Guangzhou, who was the owner of this photo album, finished his military service. The Japanese troops invaded and occupied Guangzhou around October 1938, so there is no doubt that it was during this period. Most of the photos were probably taken in Guangzhou. Therefore, it will be a valuable material at that time to know the shooting time and place. Although it is about the same, the cover and mount are peeled off. Some photos are peeled off. This is an old item, so please understand before purchasing. We will carefully deliver using the packing material. Europe, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia.

1920's US Sailor's Photo Album 109 Real Photo PC's Panama Canal, Hawaii, Ships
This is a US sailor’s photo album with 109 real photo postcards. The first 2 photos are of Captain F. Naile and the USS Pyro. I learned that a Frederick Raymond Naile served on the USS Pyro from 1922 until 1924. The postcards all have the Azo stampbox on the back which dates from 1918 to 1930. A few of the photos have brief descriptions written under them, and some have handwritten titles that are part of the photo. There is no name for the sailor who compiled the album or details of his service. Some of the cards may have been commercially published, but many looks like they were made from original photos taken by the sailor. There are also 2 cards from Alcatraz, one of the Philadelphia Naval Yard, the Chapel at West Point and an observation balloon. I’ve taken out of the album and listed separately album pages with photos of the 1923 Honda Point California disaster where 7 Navy destroyers were wrecked and some photos and rppc’s of San Diego. She was decommissioned in 1924 and recommissioned in 1939 – she was one of the ships which survived the attack at Pearl Harbor. There are 2 other photos identified by the sailor as taken on the Pyro – one of the deck, and a very faded photo of the 2 dog mascots. The Panama Canal cards include the Gatun Locks, Emergency Locks, Pedro Miguel, Miraflores Gates, Culebra Cut and the Pacific entrance. Other Panama cards include the Taboga Island, Pearl Islands, El Vigia Village, ruins left by pirate Henry Morgan in 1671, Canal Administration building, hospital and the Leper Colony. I’m not sure if the sailor was stationed in Panama or if he just went through the canal going from the West to East Coast. The cards vary in quality – some are very sharp and clear, a few are blurry, and others very pale. The black paper tabs have stuck to the cards. I was able to remove them from several cards that I took out of the album, but it’s a tedious job that left slight traces of black behind. Several of the cards are apart from the page.

This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\1919-38\Original Period Items”. The seller is “forestseeker” and is located in Advance, North Carolina. This item can be shipped worldwide.

Photo Album USS OAHU Yangtze River Gunboat US Navy Sailor China Shanghai 1930s
An outstanding US Navy or Marine sailor’s photo album. A singular production of more than 500 photographs taken or acquired while assigned to the Yangtze River gunboat USS Oahu in the early-1930’s. The album measures approximately 15 x 11. It is string bound and its flexible board panels are covered in a faux-reptile skin cloth. There are a bit more than 500 photographs (I count 513) mounted to the rectos and versos of 37 black paper leaves, loosely fit into dry corner mounts (and easily and safely removable). The majority of photos, about 350 of them, appear to be original snapshots captured by the soldier. They range in size from about 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ to 5 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. This section is in the front and separated by about a dozen blank leaves, then proceeded by about 160 more photographs which appear to be a blend of commercial or souvenir prints and photos captured by a more skilled photographer. Most of these measure approximately 4″ x 3″ and there are some phenomenal cultural images among them. There are also about 8 enlarged photographs, approximately 8″ x 10, ” including the excellent identified and dated photograph of the Oahu crew shown here in the first image. It is dated 1932 and is the only dated photo in the album, though the balance of contents seem firmly within the same timeframe. There is no notation to any of the album pages and we’ve carefully removed several of the prints and haven’t found any notations to print versos either. This is fresh from a local, multi-generational estate and is as-found by me ; nothing has been added or removed. I strongly suspect the soldier was from the St. This is a significant photographic document of the Yangtze Patrol captured during an important time immediately preceding the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific. I have additional images of the album available. Please send along any questions and thanks for looking. The item “Photo Album USS OAHU Yangtze River Gunboat US Navy Sailor China Shanghai 1930s” is in sale since Monday, July 5, 2021. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Photographic Images\Vintage & Antique (Pre-1940)\Photo Albums”. The seller is “full-cycled” and is located in Saint Louis, Missouri.
