They don't make kids’ toys like they used to, that’s for sure! These little metal battleships were probably produced circa 1920 by Dowst for insertion in Cracker Jack boxes or use as board-game movers. They still bear their original factory paint. (We also have several other colors available—please e-mail us.) These are very clean cufflinks; we developed a brass superstructure that allows us to attach the ships to standard cufflink posts with a single stainless steel screw. These are really neat little pieces of Americana to decorate your sleeve!
