Description
a Connecticut River side wheeler steam boat. This example is in pretty good condition. These fretwork pieces were quite popular in Victorian times and could be purchased as a kit to cut out the design or available as plans. The example is quite nicely done. There are a couple of the ribs missing, a small pillar on the top deck and a couple pieces of trim absent the base. The case is fitted with a simple 30-hour lever movement with original dial and hands. Fragile to ship; no charge for dust and dirt. Height 5.25 inches
