An antique letter plus envelope. The March 19, 1919 letter was written by AEF soldier Harry Nadel to his parents. Vintage wear and aging include creasing, bending, & fading; no other enclosures. 3 pages, with writing on 5 1/2 sides. Written on Knights of Columbus, Army of Occupation letterhead and envelope. Harry is stationed in Loef, Germany and this is his 73rd letter home.

Envelope has cancellation and passed censor stamp/signature. Harry’s civilian job was at Paramount Pictures. Harry’s brother Joe (Joseph) was an accomplished film producer and director. Joe’s son, Arthur Nadel was also well-known in the film industry. Both are listed on IMDB.

RARE 1920’s NAMED US NAVY PHOTO ALBUM ERNEST M. FLAHERTY USS WEST VIRGINA. Flaherty retired to Sarasota, FL where I live. Flaherty’s Album with Signed Photos of Admiral Richard Byrd from the famous Antarctica Expedition see. Flaherty was a shipmate and good friend of Admiral Byrd’s. There are NO PHOTOS of Admiral Byrd in this Album. Also, photos of friends and girlfriends. USS West Virginia, a 32,600-ton Colorado class battleship built at Newport News, Virginia, was commissioned in December 1923, the last battleship completed for the United States Navy for nearly two decades. During the 1920s and 1930s, she served in the U. Fleet, taking part in “Fleet Problems” and other exercises as part of the continuing effort to develop tactics and maintain the Navy’s combat readiness. With much of the rest of the Fleet, she deployed to New Zealand and Australia in 1925 in an important demonstration of the Navy’s trans-Pacific strategic “reach”. West Virginia’s base was moved to Pearl Harbor in 1940, and she was there on 7 December 1941, when the Japanese attacked with an overwhelming force of carrier aircraft. In that raid, the battleship was hit by two bombs and at least seven torpedoes, which blew huge holes in her port side. Skillful damage control saved her from capsizing, but she quickly sank to the harbor bottom. More than a hundred of her crew were lost. Salvaged and given temporary repairs at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, in April 1943 West Virginia steamed to the West Coast for final repair and modernization at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. 14″-15″ wide depending on where you measure. The Leather Album Cover is 14″ wide, but the pages extend to 15″ wide. Condition: Album itself is in very poor shape. The Leather is dirty & album areas are stained. Looks like the entire back of the album is missing. Photos are still in good condition. My Consignor did not realize the value of this album and tore out photos he thought were important to sell individually. So, many photos are missing & many pages are torn and photos have been removed. My Consignor no longer knows where the removed photos are located. Pages of the album are lose, falling out, detached, and missing. Any defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as “described”. PLEASE let me know if you need to get it sooner.
