Amazon Riverboat model Handmade Traditional 36"lx7"wx13"h 1950's needs TLC 70yr

Description

Here we have a wonderful nearly 70 year old model of an Amazon Riverboat, African Queen?, handmade in northeast Brazil in the mid 50's.    A craft item that is now considered folkart as they are no longer made in this traditional manner.   It measures approximately 36" long  x 7" wide x 14" tall.   While it is in very nice condition there are some parts and pieces, small, that have been misplaced over the years as it traveled.  You are buying it as is with whatever it has going on.  A keen enthusiast should be able to reproduce and fill in missing pieces but the family is choosing to part with this and nobody seems to have the wherewithal to do the repairs.

Proceeds from this and all other ebay sales help to supplement my science classroom purchases of materials and equipment.   Thank a teacher and shop generously and let your friends know about ebay seller       esteem1     .   While prices are very competitive they are still mostly negotiable as some funds beat no funds for my class.    Have a great day.  Damien
