GREAT WHITE FLEET COMMERATIVE ?

I dug this at an old log cabin in eastern kansas. Cannot make out makers mark on the back. Can anyone give me some info and possable value if any? I have other junk to post but I will do it later . THANKS!

I havent found a match yet but it appears to be a 1908 SOUVENIR VISIT OF U.S. NAVAL FLEET, REAR ADMIRAL EVANS "FIGHTING BOB". Nice find.

I think fortbball9 has solved it. Its a souvenir from the Great White Fleet's voyage circumnavigating the globe. But from which port?

Something very interesting I noted on the map that they didnt use the Panama Canal. It wasnt completed yet.

WOW, Lots of info. I see there was a battleship Kansas in the fleet and I found this in Kansas. I wonder where this souviner was given out? I am pretty shure it was not at a port here in kansas . I wonder if it is worth anything ? THANKS EVERYONE!
