    Any ideas of what the hand incised signature says? How about origin Italian, Greek,Spain. 13x9x7. Very detailed even the back pockets are styled. Thanks for the input. cerfishboat1.jpg cerfishboat1b.jpg cerfishboatm.jpg cerfishboatmb.jpg cerfishboat1.jpg cerfishboatm.jpg

    Yes! Looks very similar. I have Walter's Italian marks book, but nothing matched up.

    Boat painted to appeal to the Greek market?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The last written word looks like Caltagirone, as janetpjohn mentioned. The word before that... might end in -vello (?)

    Not neccessarily. I've seen stripy boats like that on Sicily.

    I have the same one. It is Francesco Manuello from Caltagirone Sicily.
