Before the UB-88 was sunk off of Los Angles, California by the USS Wikes all useful items were removed by the US Navy. A large amount of Brass and Bronze was among this. A lot was melted down and turned into these paperweights for officials to give away as favors. It has been estimated that between 4000 and 5000 of these were made. The whereabouts of most of these is now unknown.
