This comes from the estate of a cruise ship aficionado who enjoyed cruise ships and also collected items. According to receipts many of these items were bought at antique stores in the 1990\'s, and have been kept safe in plastic envelopes within a binder, and inside of a trunk ever since. They were carefully catalogued into sections. Please see my stores \"Collectibles - paper and photos- ship and cruise related\" section for more from this estate.

We have priced items to be competitive with what they have sold on in the past and are open, within reason, to negotiate prices as well. We usually ship next business day.
