I got this sign from an online auction site for little of nothing. It was made by Kay Display Inc. It is missing the destroyer on it that I hope I can find one somewhere for it. In Petretti's it shows the airplane displays but not the warship ones but it does mention them.

Cool piece! That nautical/ compass logo is sweet and makes this great for display "as is". You never know about finding the missing ship element or perhaps even marrying this to an incomplete sign in the future. Sounds like the price was right. Well Done.
That will be a hard find but don't give up. In the '60's, a friend had a 3rd mod. Colt dragoon missing it's back strap. While we were at a gun show, he found 1. The serial no. matched!! That proved to me that there is always hope & miracles.
Sweet find y3k65!!
Thanks Daddy_Nobucks, blunderbuss2 and Signaholic!!! I am going to keep looking for the ship element for the sign but who knows how long it will take to find one. I have already put the sign up on my wall with some of my other signs and it looks great how it is.
