American Protective League Secret Service Badge
Item #: NEW-0017015

Click image to enlarge
This metal badge measures two and a half inches long and 1 3/4 inches wide.  This is a scarce interesting badge that was issued during WWI. 

The American Protective League was a group of volunteers who sought out anti-american activity in their neighbors, coworkers, and even family members, and reported them. It was headed up by a man named Albert Briggs, who was a Chicago advertising expert.He contributed a lot to the members, including payments, and cars so they could more easily watch the suspicious activity. The group was under the supervision of the FBI and was huge by the end of WWI, with eighty to one hundred thousand members .  Many innocents were swooped up.  This is a part of American history that one would want to disappear and indeed have. There is more information on this group at the following link:

The shield does not have a reddish tint like the scan.

Dynamite Tintype-WWI Soldier and Shoe Shine Boy
Item #: NEW-006579

Click image to enlarge
Love this image which measures 3 and a half by 2 and a half inches. Shows a Dough Boy in an outdoor scene having his boots shined by a young black boy. Nice clarity though the image is somewhat dark. The first scan shows the true appearance and I have lightened the second one up so you can see it more clearly. Some emulsion in the area to the left of the soldier which looks like a wooden structure. Also a long scratch which is visible under magnification. General condition of this tintype is clearly visable on the scans. I should mention that there are some slight bends which don't affect the appearance.

Real Photo PC-U S S Dekalb-WWI
Item #: NEW-006434

Click image to enlarge
Undivided back and not postally used. Minimal wear. Here is information on the war ship found on the web. USS DeKalb, a 14,180-ton (displacement) troop transport, was built at Stettin, Germany, in 1904 as the passenger liner Prinz Eitel Friedrich. She was a German Navy auxiliary cruiser during the first seven months of World War I, then was interned in the United States. Seized when the U.S. entered the conflict in 1917, she was turned over to the Navy, converted to a troopship at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and renamed DeKalb. She was commissioned in May 1917 and a month later helped carry the first contingent of U.S. troops to the European war zone. Later registered as ID # 3010, she continued in her vital work until the fighting ended in November 1918. During this time DeKalb made a total of eleven trans-Atlantic voyages, transporting over eleven-thousand men. After the Armistice, she reversed the process, bringing home more than twenty-thousand troops in eight trips. USS DeKalb was decommissioned in September 1919 and transferred to the U.S. Shipping Board. Subsequently refitted for commercial employment, she operated as SS Mount Clay during the early 1920s and was scrapped in 1934.

1919-Howard Christy WWI Poster
Item #: NEW-005736

Click image to enlarge
Original, authentic poster by the famous artist, Howard Chandler Christy who made some of the most famous WWI posters. This is a large sheet, 40 inches by 27. See scan. Rather large chunk out of the edge on the left hand side in the flag which can be seen in the scan. Other condition problems include many tears and chipping along all of the edges. Most of the tears have been repaired with archival, acid free tape on the reverse. All of these rough areas could be framed out. Heavy fold across the middle as mailed and some tears there have also been repaired. There was one area in the top area where the lithograph was missing and it showed white. This was touched up with water colors which makes it difficult to spot. Overall an impressive display. Will not mail in the frame.
