The grouping includes two rank insignia patches, one hat badge, four photographs and an illustrated article about the lighthouse keeper's dog, "Sailor" from the July 29, 1900 Sunday Boston Globe. Sailor lived from 1888-1903 at the Wood Island Lighthouse off Biddeford Pool in Maine and would greet passing vessels by ringing the bell rope, as he had observed his master Mr. Orcutt doing.

VINTAGE: Circa 1890s.

SIZE: Various sizes.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Items are of expected materials, and patches are felt with silver ad gold bullion thread.

ATTACHMENT: N/A.

MARKINGS: N/A.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Lighthouse Service collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEX04 LAAJJX SHBEX11/13

CONDITION: 5+ (Fine-): Items are in various conditions, but aside from heavy tarnishing on the bullion and some missing bits of the patches, items are in good shape.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
