From photo, to collectible, to genealogical art. Amazing what a near-century does. 's a fabulous old black and white group photo. The sign says U. S. Naval Gun Factory, 1935, Breech Mechanism Shop . Size: About 10" x 8" Image: Real photograph; sepia tones Finish: Satin Condition: Good for age Surface Dirt/Marking: Light dirt; a few spots of gloss if you look at it on a tilt with a glare. Corner/Edge Wear: Lightly rubs; subtle crease in top border; miniscule partial tear in left edge. Trivia: I believe this is the opening of the third museum to house the Navy's collection of artifacts. "In April 1935, the third museum opened in building 40, at the north end of the Breech Mechanism Shop constructed between 1887 and 1899 (left). When World War II ended the yard officially changed its name to the Naval Gun Factory, so the museum became the Naval Gun Factory Museum. After gun production ceased, Admiral Burke obtained the entire building in 1961 to house a new, and more complete collection of artifacts." I show oversized images to exaggerate details and flaws, hand-type text, and try my best to identity the people and places, but some are tricky. Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, typos or trivia. (And check out some framing ideas on my About Me page!) U.S. Shipping Cost is listed below. International & Multiple-Postcard
