MODEL of a 19th CENTURY CAT BOAT from a MUSEUM! Offered here at NO RESERVE is a GENUINE exhibition-quality model of a late 1800's type CAT BOAT. This highly detailed scale model is nicely constructed entirely of wood with brass fittings and a stiff cardboard sail. The model itself measures 10 3/4 inches long by 3 inches wide and stands 14 inches high. It is mounted to its original solid teakwood base measuring 11 1/2 inches long by 3 inches wide. Perfect original condition! A well-known Museum has commissioned me to sell this model, because it is not in keeping with the Museum's purpose nor its collection. For purposes of public anonymity I will not publish the Museum's name with this offering. However I will provide the provenance to the successful buyer so that this valuable information will remain with this museum-quality model.   SELLING TERMS  I have been a professional nautical antiques dealer for 32 years. I absolutely GUARANTEE this authentic musuem model to be as described, or your money back! California sales tax applies to CA residents only. Because it is fragile and difficult to pack properly, shipping anywhere in the U.S. 48 is $29. This includes professional packing and full insurance (extra to AK, HI and outside U.S.). UPS is the method of shipment, so I will require your UPS-shippable address, not a P.O. box. This item will be professionally packed -- better than commercial shipping industry standards! I am not responsible for negligence or mishandling of others once it is out of my control. Any and all insurance claims arising from mishandling in shipment will be yours to pursue.    Cash, check, money order ONLY please.
