Paper weight came from my wife's Grandfather who was captain of the Bon-homme-Richard during the Korean conflict, Retired as Rear Admiral Paul Watson (now deceased). Captain Watson also served in the pacific and Africa during WWII, but we're not sure of which ship he was serving- we have pictures from back then but none show his ship ID. Also was commander at San Diego Naval Air Station before retiring. We have many heirlooms from him, but this is something we'd allow to let go. Below is a link to the Bon Homme Richard if interested.
