At 536 feet long and 96 feet across, the Greater Buffalo and her sister ship, the Greater Detroit, were the largest side-wheel steamships in the world. For perspective, they were as long as a 53-story skyscraper is tall ? nearly as high as the Penobscot Building. The Greater Buffalo was known as the Majestic of the Great Lakes; the Greater Detroit was known as the Leviathan of the Great Lakes. The bill for these boats was equally big: $3.5 million each, about $49 million today, when adjusted for inflation. ?These beautiful steamers will prove a revelation in modernness and comfort to travelers of the Great Lakes,? D C boasted in an ad.

USA SELLERS.
I accept PayPal. I also combine shipping on multiple orders. I can oftentimes combine shipping for one low price- as long as the items won are similar in size, etc. For instance, if you win a group of 5 cards in 5 separate auctions, I should be able to group them all together in one padded envelope for a low shipping price. Be sure to let me know if you think combined shipping makes sense for your order. Also, when paying for multiple winnings, please pay with one combined payment.
