Description: The lot includes a U.S.S. New Mexico cover, Jun 26, 1935 with a machine strike tieing #772. No contents. Flap is unsealed. A Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) and a seven page reprint on the history of the ship from Wikipedia. The New Mexico was launched in 1917 and, at the time, was the Navy's most advanced warship. She was the "...first battleship with a turbo-electric transmission which helped her reach a maximum speed of 21 knots (24 mph)." She "...escorted the ship that carried President Woodrow Wilson to Brest, France to sign the Treaty of Versailles. Thereafter she was made the first flagship of the newly created United States Pacific Fleet...She was attacked by Kamikazes on several occasions and was awarded six battle stars. She was present in Tokyo Bay for Japan's formal surrender in 1945." Buy with confidence. I am a long time collector and dealer. See my Ebay Store for other interesting items.
