[QUOTE="VexedOldHag, post: 9783732, member: 86630"]I acquired this cement basin I presume is meant as a birdbath but am uncertain. It's made of the old sort of cement that has rocks mixed into it. I'm very curious as to the ship therein depicted, "HMS COPYRIGHT" is the name however, I cannot find a Royal Navy ship of that name, ever existed. The sails seem to be representative of different countries (fleur de lis, sunset) other than Britain. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not looking for an appraisal, just information on its history. It weighs 75 pounds. [ATTACH=full]484049[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484050[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
