    To me, it looks like a hobbyist piece. Maybe done by a ship crew member?

    I LOVE IT!
    Probably for an officer's desk.
    It's not as clean as the molder's on my ship would've made it but it could still be shipboard, or base, foundry made.

    I don't know for certain but believe it was in use in WWII.
