Van Ryper Bassett- Lowke Ship Model Columbus fine condition in case

  

THESE ARE THE SUPER DUPER HEAVY LISTINGS OF BASSETT LOWKE MODELS!!!!!! It was built to be the epitome of luxury and trans-Atlantic crossing in supreme style. With the advent of larger boats Columbus did not make it out of the 1930s and eventually scuttled when she was owned by the Deutsche Line right off the United States Coast. It would have been a great target for a British Torpedo had it made WWII.

Well I enjoyed telling you this story about the Columbus now perhaps I will tell you about this model. The model from an old collection and is in excellent condition having been a glass case for its entire display life. The boat is in fine condition and the paint is complete and bright. There are about 10 of the lifeboats missing.

There is exceptional detail to the boat and it is on a board that fits into a base that the glass cover fits over to protect the model. It measures 7 3/4 inches long and again is in excellent condition. Any questions please ask and thanks for looking. This item is in the category "Toys & Hobbies\Models & Kits\Boats & Ships".
