    Description

    Up for auction is a really item I found at an estate sale on Long Island. It's a circa 1916 application to the Department of Commerce/Steamboat Inspection Service in New York. The guy is applying to be a chief engineer and work on internal combustion engines, either oil or gas, 500 ton. On the back lists the various boats he's worked on, the last being in 1916. Walter Charles Hawkins is his name. Very cool. Rare and unusual item
    with a great
    low opening bid
    .
    See my other auctions. I'm happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases.
