A Century of Heritage: Antique 1924 RNLI Lifeboatman Car Mascot.

This is not a reproduction; it is a genuine 100+ year old antique issued by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Registered in 1924 (Design No. 703993), this mascot was originally sold to support the heroic efforts of British lifeboat crews.

Cast in heavy brass, it depicts a lifeboatman in traditional storm gear, standing watch with a hand to his brow. Originally intended as a hood ornament for high-end vintage automobiles, it remains a powerful symbol of maritime bravery.
