Description: This auction lot consists of 2 vintage, WWII, British ship models, namely the “HUNT” and the ALGERINE class. The boats are from the US Navy ship recognition teacher, which was used by pilots to identify ships by silhouette. The blue board on which the ships models rests is marked: “Hunt” Class (Third group) British - DD, H. A. FRAMBURG & CO. – CHICAGO 8-44 and the other is marked: ALGERINE Class British (AW)? H. A. FRAMBURG & CO. – CHICAGO 8...-44. See my other listings for additional ship models as well as the original US Navy Teacher wooden box, which housed the ship models. I am uncertain of the composition of the boat. It is probably cast pot metal. Dimensions: Hunt Class Ship: 7½” long. Algerine class ship; About 5 ½” long. Condition: Would benefit from additional cleaning as shown in the pictures. The Algerine Class model has a broken screw rendering it unattached to the blue board. Please review the pictures closely as they are considered part of the description.
