irish Posted July 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2016 Found this in a small shop recently. Well made piece of Naval knot art. Sailors name is marked on back "old and faint" Herly or Herby Wagele C.M. 2/C. 302 Sierra Place New Orleans 20 LA. This looks to be from around the WW2 era, or at least that is when the 2 digit zip code was started. Shown in his address. I think CM 2/C is a Carpenters Mate Second Class. Have looked for one of these displays for years and recently this popped up when I was least expecting it. Some knowledgeable ex Sailor may be able to tell us what the different knots are. Large 27" x 17" . Missing a few ropes to connect the boat with the block and tackle. Enjoy Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rope and knot art is quite intricate. Long lonely nights aboard ship. Thanks Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
