Celebrating the 251st
USMC Birthday Ball

For 251 years, Marines have gathered every November to honor the Corps, its history, and each other. Sparta Pewter has been part of that tradition for over four decades — hand-crafting the coins, gifts, and awards that units carry home from the Ball. Everything here can be customized with your unit’s crest or insignia, and every order starts with a free quote and free custom artwork.

Made In-House

Decorating Techniques

Four ways to make it yours, all done in-house in Sarasota, Florida. Not sure which fits your product and budget? Ask — we’ll recommend the right technique with your free quote.

Pewter Crest

You want tradition, we have it. Unique hand-crafted pewter crests, cast and finished in our own shop since 1983.

Laser Engraving

With multiple types of lasers in house, we permanently etch glass, steel, and wood.

Full Color Print

Your full-color unit logo, reproduced edge to edge in vivid, lasting detail.

One Color Print

The cost-effective option that works on most products. Let us show off your logo.

Edge to Edge

Full Color Print Favorites

Full-color printing puts your complete Ball artwork — dates, unit crest, Tun Tavern scenes, and all — onto ceramics and glass. These are the pieces guests actually use year-round, and every one doubles as a keepsake of the 251st.

Pewter or Print

Glassware — with Pewter or Print

From toast-worthy steins to the shot glasses that close out the night, every piece can carry your unit’s mark in hand-cast pewter, deep laser engraving, or print. Mix and match across the table — same crest, every glass. Many more options available.

Built to Last

Stainless Steel & More

Built for the field, finished for the mantel. Our stainless line takes a hand-cast pewter crest or laser engraving and shrugs off decades of use — the same cups and flasks Marines have carried home from the Ball for years.

Unit Favorites

Ladies Items

Elegant pewter keepsakes made for the Ball — EGA pendants, charm bracelets, and purse accessories that dress up the evening and keep the Corps close after it.

Cast In-House

Pewter Giftware

Cast in our own molds, one piece at a time. From vehicle statuettes to ornaments for the unit family — if it can be cast in pewter, we can put your crest on it. Many more options available.

Birthplace of the Corps — Tun Tavern, 1775

Every Marine tradition traces back to one Philadelphia tavern. When your unit raises a glass at the 251st, make it one worth keeping. Send us your artwork — the quote, the art, and the proofs are free.
