RARE, Authentic 60+ Year Old Vintage United States Navy Issued White-on-White antique Heavy Damask Banquet Size Linen US Navy Tablecloths, US Navy Napkins, vintage linen U.S. Navy Cocktail Napkins. USN Nautical Table Linens were used for every day Officer Wardroom dining, or the proper protocol for table linens for formal Military and Navy Dining-In Ceremonies! Only one word can describe these table linens - Stunning!

These authentic U.S. Navy Tablecloths, US Navy Napkins, vintage heavy damask white-on-whit linen nautical tablecloths and nautical napkins were used aboard ship and shore from the early 1900's thru 1960's, with most being actually produced prior to and during WW2 and are in excellent condition with many years of more use. Made from the best linen cloth, they are stunningly beautiful heavy damask white-on-white table linens and were used exclusively as the US Navy's official dining-in linen from the smallest Officer's Wardroom aboard a WWII Destroyer Escort sailing in the South Pacific, to a very formal "Dining-in" hosted by the Chief of Naval Operations or Secretary of the Navy.

The above left photo shows a banquet size 132" (11') U.S. Navy tablecloth with twisted Naval rope and 5 pointed stars vertically the full length, with U.S.NAVY in 1" block letters horizontally every 3'. All china, silverware, and serving dishes shown are U.S. Navy issued and can also be purchased at The Pirate's Lair.

The photo on the right shows the typical Department of the Navy Seal used on most of the Navy's tablecloths, dinner napkins, and cocktail napkins. The Navy Seal consists of a circle with the words "United States of America" across the top and "Department of the Navy" on the bottom. An Eagle and shield with 13 stars above its head (representing the original 13 colonies), and clutching the fluked Navy Anchor.
