Thanks guys first thing.
Your right early 80's. Late 70's. They are authentic ships grates. My dad built our 5000 sq foot tudor home in about 76 or so and he owned a big scrap metal yard and loved brass and had a thing for nautical antiques and vintage bordeaux wines! I just am almost finished with the wines auctioning through winebid.com 61 lafite rothchilds(12) cases of each first growths 61 to 66, all the various desirable wines. But all his antique instruments and equipment were authentic, he got four dog portholes from a friend who broke ships and mounted them in walnut doors in the game room, it had the tables pictured, harpoons helmits boots benacles etc. i have two authentic brass large ships bells, he even had two beautiful line throwing guns one looked copper w brass rings one more ornate all brass or bronze, a a brother got those though. I have waterford crystal and quite a few shelly tea cups w out saucers, (lost in confusion somehow. Also more furniture. But the tables are heavy, genuine and originally cost a fortune any revised figures considering that KC. I really appreciate your help and value your opinions ive read back your posts and like what i see.
