ARTIFACT:
I just got these back in a trade and I'm happy to have them. Unique jeweler-made full-size World War II officers' submarine dolphins in 14 karat gold. The piece is by J.E.Caldwell & Company of Philadelphia and engraved on reverse as a wedding present: TO THE BEST, BEST MAN. The dolphins are striking in appearance. A lovely red-orange age patina has formed in the recesses of the badge; images do not do it justice.
