Getting Started on my Memorabilia Collection of the United States Frigate Constitution -- "Old Ironsides" and other Famous Ships

 

This is my blog on "Old Ironsides"  -- The US Frigate Constitution.

I have been collecting memorabilia related to "Old Ironsides" for about thirty years, and I have finally decided to move my catalog of the collection to a blog so that anyone interested in this material can see it.  It all started one day about 30 years ago when I purchased a model of the USF Constitution.  I couldn't just let it sit there gathering dust, so I built a mahogany and glass case for it. The base of the case has a drawer, and I acquired some USS Constitution brass drawer pulls, which I installed on the drawer.  Soon afterward, I discovered some other interesting artifacts and memorabilia and bought them, adding them to my collection.  Over the years, I have collected many items.  I hope that you enjoy looking at them. In the column to the left, you can see the items that I have cataloged online so far.  Simply click on any item to view more details about it.  I've tried to include pictures with each item.
