Help: Information needed

One thing is certain, it’s fabulous! Possibly a three masted bark as the lines look sharp. A very old build in my book. 😊

Help: Information needed

Hi Dan
Difficult to be sure but it is probably a wooden model of a schooner. Looks like the three masts are lying on the deck and I can't see any spars. I suspect the construction method was bread and butter with the boards laid horizontally. The second pic shows a joint that has split. Possibly made pre 1950's but could be much earlier. Clearly seen better days and in need of some major restoration work. Without any provenance it may have a limited market but there are modellers who like to restore such models, especially if they have a previously untouched model. Price will depend on whatever someone is prepared to pay and in its present form you might try asking £50+ to see if there is any interest. There are several Models for sale sites both National and local that offer free services.

Help: Information needed

Hi,

I need some help.

I’ve got this lovely boat, it’s big and old but I know very little about it. If someone could shed some light on what it is and perhaps what it may be worth I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Dan
