This 1 1-2" goldtone brooch features two sailors steering a ship's wheel, with patriotic red, white & blue enamel, 1960s signed Lisner (1904-1985).
Best Veterans Day wishes to all past & present service personnel and your families, I salute you & this too for my late US Navy radioman father
Super cute!!! Miss seeing ya but whenever I do get back here I can always count on seeing you! That’s a great thing!!! Xoxo
Very touching with your father being referenced in this post- the brooch is really sweet and unusual too.
You rarely see people depicted in brooches and if they do have a maritime theme it's usually anchors but these two sailors seem to be wrestling very hard against that ship's helm- it makes me think they're battling through some VERY turbulent waters hopeful of seeing approaching port lights :)
Very patriotic and nice tribute to your dad!
Sincere thanks to all for the love

Thank you share for the super compliment & I miss you lots too, thanx so much for dropping by my friend please come again :) Yep I oughta be here, not planning to leave - this site is always fun & upbeat, a nice respite from things like covid and the dreadful TV news lately
Thanks Lauren for your sweet words, I always do think about my dad on this and other patriotic holidays, he wanted to make a career of the service but his father wanted them to work together, then he met my mother etc., but always had fond memories of being in the Navy. Glad you liked my pair of sailors & your story is very plausible that they are wrestling against stormy seas! I think their hats & outfits are really cute, the colors held up well over the years. Ship's Ahoy!!
MrsT thank you so much for your lovely comment, I try to acknowledge holidays if I can find a good piece and when I saw this rare Lisner I was very glad. Appreciate the kind thought about my father, he fought in Korea during some intense fighting & I'm very proud of him
Truly grateful for the patriotic love all
