I'm trying to get information on this bill. On the bill it says " First ship in to dock " and is signed by everyone that was on that ship im guessing. Some one told me it is from " Operation torch " in north africa. Some of the things i can make out on the bill are " uss w m hirt arlue, algeria, 8 nov 1942 " then all the signatures of the people. Please help me find out what its worth and the history behind it?

This coffee table is structually sound, but has been painted black, with multi-designs painted on the face. The side strips and legs have a significant radius. Three quarters of an inch to the side strips. A simple basic design makes the table attractive and homey. The table was made before braces and bolts became common to furniture building.
A german beer stein that looks to be 16oz that was glazed with browm only. Abovce the word "Munchen" stands a priest like figure holding a bible in his left hand. The figure in inset in what looks like a crest of some sort. Around the top of the stein is a brick design that has windows the likes of a castle. This was given to me by my grandfather who was born in Italy in 1901. I don't know when he got it but has been around along time. The Original King 4 stamp is on the bottom of the stein
