ARTIFACT: This is a named ashtray from the Korean War era for the United States Navy's USS Wahoo (SS-565). The ashtray reads W.W. WINEBERG, ENG (SS), USN and LEADING ENGINEMAN around its edge, so Weinberg may have been the plank owner since the ashtray dates from around the time of the launching in 1951. The Wahoo was stricken from the US Naval Register in 1983. At the ashtray's center are engraved two dolphins and a ship.

VINTAGE: Circa 1951.

SIZE: Approximately 5-3/4" diameter and 7/8" thickness.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Stainless steel with painted lettering.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Navy collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJX02 VAAEX12/10 SLHEX5/16 SHEX01/17

CONDITION: 7+ (Very Fine+): The ashtray has some spots of light to medium wear with some small areas of the painted lettering having worn away.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
