Salvage Sailor Posted July 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2019 Pretty sure this is "Pete", aka Peg Leg Pete, nemesis and antagonist of Mickey Mouse in the early days. USS DAMATO (DDE-871) Gearing class destroyer in service 1946 to 1980 The Damato also used Donald Duck on their emblems and ships' lighters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneydave Posted July 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2019 Unfortunately this is not Pete. Looks more like a brown bear. I have no record of this unit having a Disney insignia in my database of 1,100 entries. Doesnt mean they didnt have one but I have nothing for this unit and the design is off for Pete.

Salvage Sailor Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted July 21, 2019 It's clearly 'beari-ish'. Could be a poor (rip-off) rendition of Pete and certainly unofficial, not surprised that it would not be in your database Dave. Here's a web photo of their Donald Duck lighter in the same sailor suit and pose from Navsource Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
