Hello,

certainly interesting for fans of antique craft sheets. The craft sheet was an 1896 Philadelphia Press newspaper supplement.

Hello Astroboy, you´re welcome.
I´m looking forward to your build. Until I have finished the mountain of my projects it is 2030 to put it on my cutting mat.

Good find. I am glad to see that the Independence Seaport Museum is promoting papercraft. I haven't visited there for a while, but in the past have been impressed with their exhibits and programs.

USS New Jersey is docked across the river at Camden, NJ, as well.
