sail7seas Posted January 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2011 A little while ago, we had a thread going that mentioned HAL collectibles. People mentioned various things they have and enjoy collecting. I received an e-mail from a poster here with whom I've never had conversation or met and they asked if I would like to have a Nieuw Amsterdam Inaugural Plate. Of course, I'd love to have one to add to our collection. Today it arrived in the mail. How nice is that?!!!! We meet some outstanding people here and then, hopefully, aboard one day. My great thanks to the very generous CC'er who did this for me. (Right about then, I signed up for e-bay and after being helped along the way, found an Inaugural Plate for Maasdam. It is on the way. :) :) If anyone wants a Maasdam plate, it surely is me.) Just wanted to share about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
