    Hey all, we have a 40" long wooden model ship. There are no markings on it anywhere. Would like to know if it is made by anyone in particular and how much this piece might go for. Thanks so much! IMG_4360.jpg IMG_4361.jpg IMG_4362.jpg IMG_4363.jpg

    The model is souvenir/decorator grade. It departs significantly from historic sailing warship design and I don't think any discriminating model ship collector would be interested. I think, honestly, at auction it would struggle to reach three figures. It is probably worth what you paid for it.

    I think from the 60s,and Im guessing it sat in some very busy bar where lots of cigarettes were smoked! You can smell it through the screen ! :)

    Looks a lot like Jack Sparrow's pirate ship from the bottom of the ocean. Is all that crud part of the actual model or was it just in a really dirty place?
