I purchased this along with 2 other unique handmade ships in a bottle from a local estate. There are 4 ships in the bulb and they all appear to be intact and in good condition from what I can see through the glass. There are no pieces moving around that I can tell either. The interior of the bulb will need cleaning. The bulb does have a crack in it. Based on the bulb, and the tape holding the end on, I would say this was made in the 1930's or 40's but I am unsure. The st...and is handmade for the piece as well. Don't miss this opportunity to own a truly rare and unique piece. Please see photos closely for details and feel free to ask questions before bidding or purchasing. SOLD AS IS. FREE SHIPPING TO THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.
