[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 127108, member: 25"]I have sold examples of this and similar pieces from other ships including HMS Victory. They are not all that rare in Britain and fetch maybe the equivalent of $10 - $20. Apart from the wood, the copper sheathing of some broken up ships was made into artifacts, or struck as medallions. The practice seems to have started in the late 19th C. I expect there were less 'mass produced' items before that.[/QUOTE]
