I RECENTLY PURCHASED A COLLECTION OF DETROIT MEMORABILIA, INCLUDING SOME FABULOUS ITEMS FROM THE ESTATE OF E. HUDSON, A DETROIT PIONEER SHIPBUILDER, LUMBER BARON AND SHIP OWNER. SOME OF THEM ARE THESE LOVELY AND LARGE (CERTAINLY FRAMEABLE) INSURANCE POLICIES FOR SOME OF HIS VARIOUS SHIPS. THESE ARE ALL ORIGINALS AND SPECIFY THE NAME OF THE SHIP COVERED BY THE POLICY. A CURSORY RESEARCH ON SOME OF THE NAMES SHOW THAT SEVERAL ACTUALLY SUNK IN THE GREAT LAKES.
ALL HAVE REVENUE STAMPS ATTACHED AND PERHAPS ARE OF INTEREST TO THE REVENUE STAMP OR DOCUMENT COLLECTOR AS WELL AS THE MARITIME/ GREAT LAKES OR DETROIT COLLECTOR. HERE IS THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS ITEM
THIS IS AN 11" X 17" POLICY IN THE AMOUNT OF $40,000, DATED 1867 FOR THE "SCHOONER ZACH CHANDLER " (THE YEAR THAT IT WAS BUILT) - WITH A 50 CENT REVENUE STAMP ATTACHED, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE IMAGES BELOW
THIS SHIP/SCHOONER WAS SHIPWRECKED AND HAD A COLORFUL HISTORY OF PRIOR SHIPWRECKS. AT THE FINAL SHIPWRECK, CAUSED BY A STORM, ONE OF THE CREW MEMBER DIED, AND 7 SURVIVED.
- GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC
THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME AND HAVE PURCHASED FROM ME IN THE PAST PROBABLY DO NOT NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIVE IMAGES BELOW. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT PURCHASED FROM ME IN THE PAST - CHECK MY FEEDBACK FOR REFERENCES.
I DO ACCEPT PAYMENT THROUGH CHECK OR MONEY ORDER - IT SEEMS THAT PAYPAL TRIES TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO USE ANY OTHER METHOD OF PAYMENT, BUT THERE ARE OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
- IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PURCHASE THIS ITEM, PLEASE DO NOT BID
