20 1/2" Early to Mid-Century Hand Crafted Tin Model Ship of the HMS Terrible
20 1/2" Early to Mid-Century Hand Crafted Tin Model Ship of the HMS Terrible. This is a handcrafted model that was made from tin. We couldn’t find another like this on the web. It is likely a one of a kind. The amount of time spent making this piece would have been significant. Condition is very good for its age. See photos. Comes with the stand it was on. The stand does have a break on one of the welds. Appears to be entirely made of metal. "HMS Terrible was the second and last of the Powerful-class protected cruisers built for the Royal Navy (RN) in the 1890s. She served on the China Station and provided landing parties and guns which participated in the Siege and Relief of Ladysmith in the Second Boer War in South Africa. A few months later she did much the same thing to help suppress the Boxer Rebellion in China. During this time, her captain was Percy Scott, who trained his crew to a high standard in gunnery and had his training methods adopted by the entire Royal Navy" (Wikipedia). Ship measures 10 1/2" Long, approx. 15 1/2" to the top of the mast and 6 inches wide. This is a handcrafted model that was made from tin. We couldn’t find another like this on the web. It is likely a one of a kind. Condition is very good for its age. See photos. Comes with the stand it was on. The stand does have a break on one of the welds. From the late Jessy Eddington Collection.
