Excellent little Lester Beal Pre Maiden voyage brochure  and its original envelope for the mighty SSUS. Beal was a premium American  graphic artist in the 1950’s  … and he did brochures and other designs for USL ( even designing the cabin soap wrappers). These brochures were used after the Maiden Voyage and through the mid 50’s.  There is a hand written note on the back that says “what a ship” .. I could not agree more.

Excellent unused early Postcard for the palatial President Liners. Refurbished 535’s from WW1 formed the foundation of the Dollar fleets ATW and orient Services.

2 unused Postcards for the lovely Indy. Excellent condition.

Wonderful Operations key and fob from the SS United States …this one for the Engrs Testing Lab on D deck. Keys are quite common for the passenger cabins … not so much for the operations areas of the vessel. This key is in excellent condition..

Excellent set of menus spanning April 7^th-April 10^th, 1956. There are 3 Breakfast Menus (April 8,9,10) … 4 lunch Menus (April 7,8,9,10) and 4 Dinner menus (April 7,8,9,10). 3 of the dinner menus have a partial folding flap describing artwork found onboard the ship and the 4^th is the Gala Night dinner menu. Nice full set in excellent condition.

Excellent heavy tissue Room Plan for the Lurline … she would be just re-entering service after the Great War .. while her sisters sat unused for several years.

One of the very best deck plans ever done for 2 sister ships … are these early all class full isometrics done for AE’s Indy and Connie. super detailed and in full color …. with lovely artwork details and features throughout. One of the best printed materials every designed. A few page bumps but still very desirable.
