In Memoriam, post a 1920 coin or a coin with a nautical motiff.

[SkyMan]

My Dad died in May and I was just back in the Philly area this weekend past for his Memorial service. He certainly appreciated collecting things, his particular addiction was nautical stuff. If you have a copy of the book "Jack Tar; A Sailors Life, 1750-1910", he was the author, and the objects pictured in the book are part of his collection. If you don't have a copy and you are interested in nautical stuff, particularly the life of the average sailor of that period, check it out on the Amazon.com website. FWIW the book was acknowledged at the end of the movie, "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.", as the source for shipboard life/conditions/activities of the period.

 

My Dad was born in 1920, so, if you have one, post something from 1920 or something with a nautical motiff.
