Oh man there must be too much naval officer in the Pacific stuff around here if I looked. My Mother's mother also brought back some rattan furniture from the P.I. after my Grandfather was 2nd in command of Subic just after WWII. I think there are a few pieces still around. I should dig some of this stuff up! My Dad's father was the Chief Engineer of the USS Battleship Mississippi (The Missy he called it) during WWII as well, but I don't know of anything he left behind other than his sword....and 2 bottles of scotch on the coast of Greenland that he hid for safe keeping until he returned for them at Xmas (or so he thought) on Dec, 6 1941 before returning to the ship! :lol:

Anyway since I don't have anything at hand, but will look, this is something cool from that era, or just after it.
