This is a rare and valuable collectible for history enthusiasts. The USS New Mexico (BB-40) 1938 20th Anniversary Cruise Book “The Binnacle” is an original period item that provides a glimpse into the past. It is a must-have for anyone interested in militaria and the history of Mexico. The book is in its original form and has not been reproduced. It is a unique piece of history that will make a great addition to any collection.
From an estate, these were locked away in a cedar chest for many decades. One photo is marked 1923, so the time frame is 1922-23. Also included are another 25 snapshots taken on land of places and people which I presume were encounters along the way. I’m also including the stack of negatives that was stored with these photos, as they appear to match. Most of these photos are snapshot size at about 3 1/2″ by 2 1/2″.
