My girlfriend and I bought a whole bunch of old photos from the '30's and 40's a few years ago at an antique store. I had totally forgotten about them until today I found then and looked through them and realized I had some neat stuff. There is an Iowa in there, as well as a Washington class and an older BB with a forward cage mast (hard to see in the scanned photos but it's the one with the guy standing in the foreground). And the coolest one I think is the Lexington! What's neat about them, is that I have the originals... there is a good chance that none of these have been published or seen before other then the people who took them. The others are just cool, the sailor with the bird, and the "duck".
You may tell your girlfriend that she is very cool. My wife likewise actively assists in my obsession
