    Hi,
    Trying to figure out the maker of the ship - copyright symbol 78 and a mark I'm just not finding, 925 in oval cartouche on other side.
    Seems to be well made although it has some damage and I suspect missing parts.
    This is 7 1/4"L. Maybe the Santa Maria, Pinta or Nina?
    Any information appreciated.
    thanks for looking DSC05412.jpg DSC05419.jpg

    By the sails it looks like the Santa Maria

    I'd say it is a fairly expensive Spanish tourist souvenir, second half of the 20th C. There are replicas of Columbus' ships in Southern Spain, I have been on them all and they are remarkably small but do look, as far as I can remember, much like this ship.
