This is wooden boot was made by "Utilitoys Limited in Victoria B.C.". Measures 23 inches long (not counting the motor). Most of the makers' original paper label remains on both sides near the front. Prior to me owing this boat, someone painted it, as I am sure the red, blue, and brown colors are not original. The tin type motor is in working condition with normal wear. Unsure of the age, I would have to say it is 1950's or older.

Here is a piece of history from the Brown Ship Building Company in Houston, Texas. We were told that this employee badge was made into a watch fob by the original owner so he could better display his company badge while working at the plant. The metal ring badge is 1 3/4 inches wide and with the leather support it measures 6 inches long. I have not taken this piece apart, but I think the section with the image of the ship is made of celluloid. This is a very cool display piece.

This company was started in 1942 to build war time vessels. Between May 1943 and August 1944, Brown Shipbuilding Company turned out 61 destroyer escorts, an average of one per week.

These are map weights that were used on the ship's bridge to hold those pesky old maps flat on the navigators work area. I have seen many different designs used, but the clutching hand is the harder one to find and were more commonly found on British Vessels. Paperweights or map weights like this were also found off the ship in British Government Office, and gave the impression of Power. At least this is the story I have been told...... The two one the left end of the photo measure about 2 1/2 X 4 1/2 inches, and the smaller one on the right hand end measures 1 78 X 3 1/2 inches.

I have not re-wired the light, so I am not sure if it works or not. This is a one of a kind piece in my inventory, so do not let this one get away from you!
