[U.S. Coast Guard Approved] 1960s USA-made STYLE-CRAFTERS AQUA-FLOAT Vintage Life Buoy 56cm with Original Rope and Brass Plate Vintage life preserver made in the USA around the 1960s. This is an authentic marine safety item from the "AQUA-FLOAT" series by STYLE-CRAFTERS, approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. This is a real-use item that was actually used on ships and in ports at the time, and it is a rare individual with the original rope still attached. Furthermore, the brass plate remains firmly attached to the front, featuring details highly valued in the vintage market. The verdigris and corrosion born from age, and the fading of the paint, create a wonderful atmosphere, a realistic aging unique to items from the sea. It has a presence that replicas cannot reproduce, unique to the real thing. With a well-balanced diameter of approximately 56cm, it's easy to handle as a wall hanging or fixture, and it will be an excellent accent for garages, shop displays, and marine/industrial spaces. "With original rope × Brass plate remaining × U.S.C.G. approved" Items meeting these conditions are decreasing year by year, and this genre will become even more difficult to obtain in the future. Recommended as a one-of-a-kind item for collections and store fixtures. Highly recommended for those who prioritize atmosphere. The plate is intentionally left as is, but If you polish it with rust remover, etc. I think it will become clean. — [Size] Diameter: Approximately 56cm [Condition] Scratches, dirt, rust, discoloration, etc. due to age.
