Pair of Great Old Bronze Oar Stays from Life Boat, Possibly Used by US Life Saving Service

This is a great pair of old bronze oar stays from a life boat. These could possibly have been employed by the United States Life Saving Service. They have a simple, nice rounded U shape. One seems to have light thread marks on its post. These are sold as a pair only.

Circa 1900.

Approximately 7-3/4" in height and 4-3/8" in width and 1" in thickness (each).

Bronze.

Hole in bracket.

None.

This is from a nautical and ocean liner collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJX07 LBDEX5/13 SeVCAEX7/17

7- (Very Fine-): The stays have seen moderate wear and have tarnishing.

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