I've never come across one of these which I picked this up at the flea market. I'm guessing this was given to the women (Mrs. Robert L. Bridges) who christened the SS Lucy Stone on March 13, 1943 in Richmond, California. Printed information at the bottom of each photograph says that this ship was built at the Richmond Shipyard Number Two of the Permanente Metals Corporation. The photos are fairly large measuring 14" by 10 3/4".

Here is a close up showing the US Maritime Commission logo on the whatever this is called I'm guessing the propulsion speed indicator.
