This 2 1-4" ship brooch has a curvy wide design, with pink, blue & white rhinestones, old fashioned mast, breezy flag and curled ocean waves below, in a goldtone setting. By Coro (1901-1998), Pegasus mark from the 1940s, patent number 149,068. Thought this an appropriate post for Columbus Day weekend
Beautiful Piece !!
I love the way she's pitching - in heavy seas, apparently!
Very pretty!
I agree with Ken, unusual and lovely! Nice addition to your collection
Blow me down! (My favourite phrase) This is so pretty the design sort of reminds me of a mixture of a Chinese junk and a viking longboat?! - it's like an illustration of a ship I've got in a fairy tale book illustrated by the Grahame Johnson sisters.
Greatly appreciate the luv

Possibly it is from Popeye- it relates to ships in battle and the force of the cannon would often blow them down....I just remember it from the Wind in the Willows film as a child where Ratty sings a song called 'Blow the Man Down?'
Thanks Lauren, that's where it comes from the song Blow the Man Down, and yes it was also a Popeye cartoon and saying (thx google lol)
Really appreciate the love Judy, I'm so happy you liked my Coro ship
Thanks Mary it's a pretty cool Coro ship right, I love their romantic old time pieces. Oh I have a lot of Coro, some in fairly good condition & others showing their age. I want to post a really nice enamel floral set that's rather worn around my mom's BD, it's coral and she used to love that color. Appreciate your kind words & love, happy Columbus Day weekend
Many thanks Vynil, very glad you enjoyed this ship and hope you have a great Columbus Day weekend too
ship ahoy,... another lovely one as always '-))
Thomas I totally appreciate the info about Pegasus and music, I love mythology and jumped right to wiki to learn more, what a great story of Pegasus & the Muses - I mainly connected him with Perseus from the "Titans" movies, so very glad to know more about him. Styx was a great band - of course their name has a mythology vibe too lol! Great comments my friend
Aw Roycroft, such a kind compliment, I try to make my posts pleasant for others to enjoy & really pleased at the appreciation. Ships ahoy for sure, after all it's Columbus Day weekend!
Thanks guys for the love as well, and enjoy the holiday weekend
