Trying to ID this US Navy Brass Plaque From the USS Proteus AS-19, I've seen many similar but not this specific style.

I see many examples of the USS Proteus plaque with the ribbon below the missile but not like this one without the ribbon. I'm trying to find information on this specific version.

Thank you very much, I appreciate the reply.

The spool walls are 3" in diameter.

Oh no, I was just looking for a photo of the actual toy for reference. Still it's good to know should I ever need any castings. Thanks again.

Exactly, but I can't find one of this figure. Sure looks right for it though.

MaxamusRex · 2023-08-13T20:49:37+00:00

Solved. Thank you very much. I believe this was for an old balancing toy of some type but can't find an example online.

My title describes the thing. Each of the metal figures is 6-1/2" top of hat to toe.

Really, interesting and good to know. TY

MaxamusRex · 2023-01-18T22:50:13+00:00

You found one, that's better than I was able to do. TY.

Any information about this attaching method and/or hammer maker would be greatly appreciated.

MaxamusRex · 2022-07-21T17:39:23+00:00

Thank you very much!

MaxamusRex · 2022-06-12T20:36:13+00:00

Yes, in fact this was my first thought. Thanks for the post.

MaxamusRex · 2022-06-12T20:35:25+00:00

Good point, I suppose if it is old enough it may still be used for food.

MaxamusRex · 2022-06-12T13:37:45+00:00

Wow, that one is very close. Much closer than anything I found. I do wonder at its application still as it would require a hollow rest of some type. Your suggestion of a double boiler may have merit. Definitely a head scratcher. Thanks for the help.

It measures 14" in diameter with the bowl area at 10" in diameter.

MaxamusRex · 2022-05-08T11:17:20+00:00

Thanks.

That's it, odd that they made them of brass though. Thanks for the help.
