Collection of Ambassador and Mrs. Leonard Woodcock

From the collection of Ambassador and Mrs. Leonard Woodcock. They lived in China from 1977 to 1981 and continued to visit frequently until 1996. Ambassador Woodcock negotiated normalization between the United States and China with leader Deng Xiaoping, and was then selected to be the first U.S. Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China.

Both with all over crazing, one having a couple of filled repairs, both with surface grime, not tested for functionality.
