This rugged and practical tool is a true sailor’s companion, paying homage to the United States Merchant Marine. Measuring 50mm in diameter and a robust 6mm thick, this substantial piece is crafted from durable two-tone zinc and brass, ensuring it can weather any storm. The original, copyrighted design features three-dimensional elements on both sides, making it a functional and collectible item that will stand the test of time.
Both the obverse and reverse share the same maritime-inspired design: a central shield of red, white, and blue, representing the United States flag in its original “Old Glory” registered colors. This patriotic symbol is flanked by a ship’s wheel and anchor, iconic emblems of seafaring service and tradition. Four white stars are positioned on the outer edge, symbolizing the four cardinal directions on a compass, a crucial tool for any mariner. A three-dimensional mooring line rope forms the outer edge of the piece, a constant reminder of the maritime industry’s essential tools and heritage.
This keychain/bottle opener is built to withstand the rigors of life at sea. Constructed from zinc and brass, it also utilizes durable epoxy paste and paint for vibrant color, and a protective epoxy clear coat to ensure long-lasting durability against the elements. Each piece is meticulously hand-polished and hand-painted, then individually inspected to guarantee the highest standards of quality. This USMM keychain/bottle opener is a useful everyday carry item and a proud symbol of the Merchant Marine’s vital contributions to our nation’s maritime heritage.
