Very Sweet Smallish Model Steamship folk art alter I might guess EuropeanI don't know much about model ships, but I think know a pretty sweet one when I see it, and to my eye this is definitely that. It seemsthat is it made primarily of an early molded hard plastic, which has been hand painted, including shiny black on the sides and nice red and black striping on the stacks. A few little bits missing and a little paint loss here and there, but looks great and has a really nice folkiness about it. Sits flat and upright. 10
