Condition Report
Both models display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Deeper scratches and nicks are visible to some areas, also some small dints and bumps. There are some loose parts on the large ship, including a pair of oars. The rudder is not attached to the main ship and there is some visible damage as a small applied section has broken off. There is some damage to the filigree canoe as an end piece appears to have broken off and there is also another small loose piece. The stand is fitted with two supports/rests for the canoe but the canoe is not fixed in place. The hallmarks on both are legible.
