  1. My photo arrived in good time, undamaged, and well packed. I'm always amazed when sellers can pack items to survive shipment to Alaska! This photo was exactly as described, and I consider this treasure a great value, for the price of the photo and $ for shipping! I'll be checking this seller's items in the future. My dad and my husband both worked in the EF shops at Armco... So glad to find this photo for sale!
