INVASION!! Newspaper Shell?
This is pretty cool. I am not sure what this ’shell’ that we have is. It is not the size of the newspaper that was printed, althoug you can see the press marks on this ’shell’
Newark Evening News
A family member worked at the Newark Evening News when the invasion of World War II happened. He had this made and sent to him in 1944. You can see from the pictures below it was sent to him by Powers Photo Engraving Co. Inc. I probably should do some research on that company. This has been in my family since 1944.
