[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 554484, member: 84"]I found this at a 2nd hand furniture store yesterday - paid only $50 for it + 2 vintage taxi cab roof top lights! The ship is BIG - 44" wide x 35" tall ! it is all made of a beautiful wood - even the sails (& yes it is covered in a layer of dust; it just came out of a storage unit where it appears it's been for several years judging by the dust on everything (according to my friend who owns the store & won the unit) Any idea of it's age? (it appears attached to the stand it is on, but I will look again today - didn't older ones sit in a stand that you could life them out of?) What kind of ship it is? (I thought Chinese junk but googling that showed no ship that looked like mine) What kind of wood is it made from? (when I wiped away some dust from sail (see the sail on 2nd mast from rear where I swiped it with my finger - showing the beautiful wood) + the wood on it's hull - it is a beautiful wood!) Thanks for any info, it is appreciated! [ATTACH=full]170294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]170295[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
