And here are my favourite nautical brooches.
I love enamelled brooches and I'm very drawn to the nautical themed brooches, although I have no idea why. I used to sail a little and live by the sea when I was younger so maybe that's why. I think it's more to do with identifying with the drunken sailor though ;)
The smaller of the two boats is signed GERRY's and the rest are unsigned and I know little about them.
The Dutch clog boat with the lovers is my favourite of the group and is losing some enamel. Still sweet though. I believe this is from the 1960s but I'm not sure.
Thanks for sailing in.

I have a lovely enamel ship's wheel brooch which would fit in perfectly with this lot.
So sorry Racer, I've only just seen this. It's been awhile since I logged on.. You must post your wheel for me to moon over. Xx
