    Description

    Offered is an antique, late 19
    th
    century, half hull ship builder’s model. An unusual feature is that this model is made “hollow” in design, hence making for a liter package. Note that the backboard becomes the model’s keel. The design is comprised of (13) cross ribs of which (9) laminate wood frame side pieces are nailed to. The backboard (and keel) is then screwed to the (13) cross ribs. It carries an original, natural, richly aged, patina with some water spotting on the bow end. A 5/8” long piece of the keel is missing on the backboard as it forms the top of the bow. (See last 2 pictures). Over-all it’s in nice condition with the typical flaws one would expect on a fragile piece of this age. Dimensions: 41.75” long X 6.75” high X 6.37” deep with a weight of 5 pounds.

    1, SHIPPING IS A GUESS, SO PLEASE DON’T PAY UNTIL I SEND THE INVOICE!!!!! We only charge shipping and insurance charges as outlined by the perspective carriers, NO additional charges are added.
    Insurance is required and will be included in the final invoice at actual cost. Because of eBay’s recent changes, it is NOT POSSIBLE to put firm insurance fees until after the auction. The ultimate insurance cost will depend on the hammer price so disregard any automated invoices that arrive at sales end. Please do not Pre-pay, seller will invoice directly to buyer following auction’s end.
