The E-UNC Ghirardelli Battleships set is a set of postcards sized as the other 1910's Ghirardelli chocolate issued cards. They measure 5 1/2" W by 2 3/4" H
and the cards picture, in black and white, a battleship from the "White Squadron" of the late 1890's to early 1900's. Most of these ships were involved in the Spanish American War when the U.S.S. Maine was sunk in Havana Harbor which started the Spanish American War. The cards are very difficult to obtain and a complete checklist is likely unknown as there are only (3) different checklisted at non-sport.com.
This single E-UNC Ghirardelli Battleship is of the subject U.S.S. Charleston in VGEX to EX condition and very nice.
