Here we have a lot of 9 original vintage photos, which depict the recommissioning ceremony of the U. Iowa at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard in California. Nice paper military battleship collectibles. These are press photos, and are stamped on the back. Three of the photos measure about 9″ x 7 inches, while one of them measures around 10.5″ x 8.5 inches. Items look to be in good overall condition for their age, as you can see from the photos. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
