Constitution/Antigua lot Van Ryper Massachusetts Hand Made Vintage Wood Model EX. Both models in EX condition considering age and from a large collection in my family from Lansing. Name on box- Clarence Sage Roe was my great grandmother, daughter of R.E. Olds of Oldsmobile. ('S.S. Rex' on box obviously from another model) Postal stamp from 1948. I first saw these in a room full of others called the 'boat room' in my family's residence around 50 years ago. Colors bright- need detailed cleaning by enthusiast as these are dusty with age- I'm unable to clean properly. Putting these two similar scaled (7") vessels in a lot with historic box. Happy to answer any questions or send add'l photos.
Thanks for looking!
