Description

Step back in time with this incredible original US Navy scrapbook from the early 1930s, compiled by a sailor aboard the USS Colorado (BB-45) — one of America’s most storied battleships of the interwar era. Bound in genuine leather embossed with “USS Colorado,” this one-of-a-kind time capsule offers a vivid and personal look at life in the Navy during peacetime between the world wars.

Contents Include:

  • Vintage pin-up illustrations and risqué art from the Golden Age of burlesque

  • Original ticket stubs to boxing match, burlesque shows, and other sailor-era entertainment

  • Humorous and cheeky 1930s cartoons and clippings reflecting the era’s wit and culture

  • Hand-cut articles and mementos from newspapers and magazines of the time

This scrapbook is a raw, unfiltered look at the morale, humor, and spirit of Depression-era sailors, full of charm and irreverence. Whether you're a military collector, vintage pin-up fan, or historian, this piece is a rare survival from an iconic U.S. Navy vessel before WWII.
