3 New York Navy Yard and Navy Department orders 1869/1872

[antique033]

I have these 3 original orders... they're signed by 4 differen US Navy admirals from the early post Civil War period (Daniel Ammen, Sylvanus William Godon, James Alden Jr. ... and Joseph Smith x3 on the same document)

 

... is anybody familiar with their value and who could be possibly interested in them?

I can't help you with the value, but those are really, really cool!

Thanks! If you are into Navy stuff, maybe you would like to see this letter written by McWay Jr. He didn't even know how his own son is going to end his life...

 

This is of historic value... I have also a copy of the original letter sent to him by congressman Cousins about that question on nuclear weapon.

These documents are fantastic! The McVay Jr. letter is interesting considering his son "delivered the bomb."

Yes, it was certainly some kind of the Game of Faith!

 

Btw. can I ask the Moderator to move this thread in the "MILITARY SHIPS AND VESSELS" subforum... maybe it is going to be more transparent there?
