Great call Shipmate. Yes, it's a older US Navy Crest. It looks pre 1950 to me, and made me smile. As I'm a US Navy Veteran also. I was a BM3 Stationed at Pearl Harbor (1986-1990).

Former seacadet, from Canada here. I'm no expert on heraldry or insignias of the the militaries of world. Without a doubt, that is the badge of the United States Navy. @ 1:40. World War two era possibly? My guess is an officer's due to the "privileges of command" ?

From my experience it is rare to see someone who doesn't live in the U.S. take such pride and care in restoration of old items like this. Thank you so much.
