Large trunk, labeled US Army Nurse Corp belonging to one Elsa Goldmann (from Santa Clara). Inside is a full Nurse`s uniform, along with a huge collection of photos, post cards, war department ephemera, pamphlets, letters, panorama photos, literally hundreds of WW1 memorabilia items. There are unit insignia patches, foreign coins, a German belt buckle, buttons, pins, beads, linen nurse`s folding cap, newspaper clippings, military magazines, and many German tourist items on the Rhine, history, etc. This is only a minor description of the myriad items contained in the Oppenheimer trunk. The trunk itself measures 31 x 17 x 13. There is also a portfolio with 11 BW prints of various German cities, castles, statures, and the Rhine river. In this set are 4 small religious prints of life transitions. All the captions on the prints are in German. A real treasure trove of WW1 history for the collector. HKA#63949
