Battle★Star Steel Silhouettes
Each steel piece in the Battle★Star Collection comes from the hull of Battleship NORTH CAROLINA and the material has not been altered in any way.

Each piece is completely unique and is kept in its original condition from when it was removed and cut away from the Battleship.
Ideal for display on a mantle, bookcase or desk, each item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. These make wonderful & memorable gifts! Explore the online store to learn more.
