PLEASE HELP
I have an authentic feather-down comforter and matching curtains from the 'crew ward" off the Queen Mary Luxury Liner Ship that was converted into a Hospital Ship during WWII. The comforter is a rich gold colored cotton measuring 80"x80".
It is in EXCELLENT condition: no tears, rips or major staining. The 2 matching curtain panels measure 50"x80" each and are also in EXCELLENT condition. The top seam of each curtain where the original hooks are sewed into is stamped "Q-MARY HOSPITAL CREW WARD" and has medical item class I.D. numbers stamped on the seams. Upon further research, I traced these items to the Queen Mary Ship docked in Long Beach, CA..The family's Estate where these items were stored lived in Los Angeles from 1930's through the 1960's. They were very sympathetic the War efforts during WWII and probably held nursing positions on the ship.
These 3 pieces are very unique and remind Americans of a rarely known fact about our cruise liners doubling as hospital ships for our troops and civilians. I greatly appreciate any and all opinions and appraisals. Please feel free to call me @ (702)328-2197 and/or email me @ haynes.tracy@yahoo.com anytime.
