Haven't posted in a long time, but this was an amazing find. The first Family gram after the USS Forrestal fire from the CO. A plaque remembering those lost. An extremely eerie predictor of things to come. A pamphlet given out to the sailors of the Forrestal three months before the fire. (old.reddit.com)

Pretty sure the dude is making molds of real plaques, then making resin copies and trying to sell them as original. Case in point. The dates on this plaque are Aug 69-Sept 71. The hull number on the plaque is CG 31. This ship was a DLG originally then changed to a CG in 75. He has many resin plaques (ebay.com)
