Kurt,

These are really cool and an interesting part of history! As always, you have great items in your collection.

Kurt do guys collect these by ship and do they have value, seems I've got one in a group to a sailor but do not remember his ship, It is stored in garage, now I'm wondering if I should dig out and give a second look.

[KASTAUFFER]

I would love to see it. You should post it on this thread. People do look for these by ship with the USS Missouri being the most popular one.

 

I sold one recently and got the same for it as a fixed bail helmet is worth.

I thought I would bump this great thread up with a new addition. This is a small portion of a very large grouping I recently picked up named to a USS Missouri crewman who enlisted in 1943 and served on that ship from launching until 1946. The group consisted of 3 full large boxes of paperwork from his time in the service, including some pieces of wreckage from the Kamikaze that hit the Missouri on 4/11/1945. I'm still trying to sort through everything, but came across these items the other day, so I figured I would add them to the thread.

These are the last of the photos. Included in the grouping was a bag of about 18 of these matchbooks consisting of both designs.

Very nice Nic!
