Please take a look at my other ocean liner offerings this week! A deluxe color-coded First Class deck plan for the brilliant and highly successful SS NEW YORK of Hamburg-America, the last of the great Ballin-Class quartet of liners from the early-mid 1920s. This is a "between refits" plan from 1931 as all of these liners underwent two independent major refits around 1930 and 1934 to stay competative and relevant in a quickly accelerating competitive field. In fact, while highly divergent in size and speed as individual liners, the Ballin-Quartet managed to fend off competition from the rival North German Lloyd's superliners BREMEN and EUROPA by creating a four-ship-schedule that kept pace with the two NGL liners.This plan booklet measures 15 1/2" by 9" when opened for viewing. Each deck with accompanying interior photos occupy two pages each for a total of ten pages. The plan's detail is excellent with furnishings and fittings shown. The piece is dated 1931 and printed in USA and text is in English. I am very eager to help you answer any questions you have so please do not hesitate to contact me! Thanks for your interest and ! CONDITION RATINGS: The majority of the items from my collection that I'm selling are paper. I grade their condition in one of the following ways: MINT / NEAR-MINT / EXCELLENT / VERY GOOD / GOOD / FAIR / POOR / ACCEPTABLE (rarely used)When using the word "soiled" or "soiling" I am referring to dust/soot collection and oils from handling, if any. Soiling does not mean dirty. If an item is dirty It is called "grubby" and as a rule I do not sell anything paper that would meet that description. The only exceptions would be if an item might have value no matter what the state, as with some rare and large German/British modelsPAYMENT : Payment by PAYPAL only. Kindly make payment WITHIN THREE DAYS FROM THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION. SHIPPING: Shipping within the US is by First Class Postal rates or Priority Mail depending on weight. I ship items within two days of receiving payment, more often the day after. Saturday shipping will be eliminated in the USA around August, 2013, but until then, Saturday shipping is possible. INTERNATIONAL Shipping by First Class International rates or Priority International depending on value and/or weight. This is indicated on the auction page, so no need to arrange this before or after closing. COMBINED SHIPPING I TEMS : If you have won an item and see another closing at a later time/date that you would like to combine with it for shipping, please understand you are still responsible for paying for any items won within three days of the closing. If you win the item(s) that can be combined I will either drop the shipping on the later item or adjust for a discount. Please wait for my invoice in these circumstances International shipping rates are based on weight so I can only combine two or three items at one price. Beyond that I will absolutely discount shipping but cannot combine indefinite numbers of items. In these cases where an international buyer has arranged combined shipping before the close, please wait for my invoice. Returns: Except photographs/negatives/slides, I will accept a return of any item sold for a full refund minus return shipping if my description did not accurately represent the condition of the item when it was shipped or somehow was inaccurate. The item must be returned and received before any return is issued. Please communicate with me your issue and I will be most anxious to help resolve the situation in a friendly way. I cannot be responsible for items once they leave my care and are mailed! ABOUT ME : I have been collecting ocean liner paper and collectibles for 35 years.
