Does anyone know what this is a symbol of? It looks like an old symbol for navy or something like that. maybe a men's club or something like that. it's very heavy and has some age to it. any info appreciated!
Maltese Cross.
Nice swirling dolphins around the cross, great design & cool find ho2
I don't know but this one says it's for a car radiator? Not sure if that's right you'll have to do a little more research.

What a cool piece ! I love the dolphins :-)
I think the dolphins could be serpents. And the maker of this brass piece could be Mago - Portuguese.
