A VERY NICE PIECE OF HISTORY. THIS ITEM WAS MADE NEAR PORTLAND, MAINE PROBABLY IN THE 50'S. IT MEASURES ABOUT 17 1`/4" LONG. I THINK IT READS 40 ARCADIA PORTLAND IN PENCIL ON THE BACK. SELAWLESS, I THINK IS WHAT IT READS ON THE LINE ABOVE THAT BUT I CANNOT BE SURE. . THE BLACK PIECE, IS A SEPARATE PIECE AND I ASSUME IS WHAT YOU WOULD MOUNT THE SHIP TO BEFORE MOUNTING IT ON YOUR WALL OR ON A COUNTER. THANKS AND ENJOY!
