teufelhunde.ret Posted July 11, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2010 this sold awhile back for 300+...looks WWII or even Korea by the patina, can't make out the hallmark. anyone know more about this emblem? eagle almost looks a lot like one of the lead varient collars we see Actually winning bid was $260 and change. Certainly is an oddity, has the pre WW1 rope pattern, no fret work on the globe, etc. However anchor chain appears not to be wire, but part of the one-piece "stamping"...? The seller stated that "Miami" was stamped on the wing, although not clear enough in the photo to define and the screw post is mounted to the eagle, not to the globe. Whats up with that? An easy decision for me.... Pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcaviator Posted August 3, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 3, 2010 I believe this is a good piece. I have seen only a handful of these in my many years of collecting. Saw one other on E-bay about 10 years ago. Made by a jeweler out of Miami, Florida. The quality leads me to believe it to be mid 1950's vintage. The piece pictured is nomal hat size. As stated, an oddball piece, and why was it constructed with a stamped chain and odd placed post? I am wondering if collars were made? I count it worthy of collecting, as a vintage privately made piece. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
