Description

AN UNUSUAL GREAT LAKES FREIGHTER PHOTO PAPERWEIGHT …A METAL PHOTO OF THE HORACE S. WILKINSON .IN RESEARCHING THIS SHIP I FOUND THAT IT HAD A FASCINATING AND LONG LIFE, SUNK AND RECLAIMED AND FINALLY SCRAPPED YEARS LATER IN EUROPE. IT SPENT SOME YEARS OWNED BY AN AKRON OHIO FIRM…HENCE THIS PIECE I BELIEVE. EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH AN BEAUTIFUL INDUSTRIAL TYPE FRAME AND QUITE HEAVY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THIS TYPE OF PRINT BLOCK IS CALLED. IT CAN ALSO BE HUNG.
AN INTERESTING SPECIAL PIECE. TAKE THE TIME TO READ ITS HISTORY. YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED…EMAIL QUESTIONS.
