Five original snapshots of radio equipment (corner off one), one American Radio Relay League "Radiogram," and a very interesting hand-written two-page double-sided letter from the "Chief Telegraphist" of the "British Warship Durban" at "Hong Kong China" (small splits). The 200 QSL cards (sent to confirm contact between stations) have only four or so from the US.
