Model Boats
Including the Brian King CollectionThis section of sale will not start before Thursday 10:00am
All the following lots are model Boats built by Brian King, and are displayed in Perspex or glass cases apart from USS Hornet, which are included in the sale. They have all been kept out of direct sunlight and as far as we can tell are in perfect condition. Some measurements were taken outside the cases and therefore all measurements are approximate. All models are safely secured in their cases and cannot be removed from them during viewing. When Brian King Exhibited his boats wooden crates were made for transport but those crates are unfortunately no longer in existence. |
