This is a World War I shipyard volunteer lapel badge, which is oval and shows a merchant ship in relief at its center. It was made by Whitehead & Hoag of Newark, New Jersey.

Circa World War I.

Approximately 13/16" in height and 1-1/4" in length.

Copper.

Lapel stud.

 7+ (Very Fine+): The stud has areas of light to moderate wear and a handsome overall patina.

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