My knowledge of naval architecture is limited , but my guess is this ship model is North African or Mediterranean style--it has a hand carved hull-good condition-couple port hole insets missing--made in the 1930s and restored later-sails and rigging are newer than hull--26 inches high with woven basket crows nest-20 inches wide-has elaborate rudder system and a strange device on prow mast--unusual design

ca 1810. Figure of Napoleon pointing to England. Finger he is pointing with has last digit mising. Top of clock is spelter. Bottom is ormulu over slabs of marble. This is all housed in a toile base. Closk brass works are French, seems original and works on a silk thread (pendulum). The bell emits a tiny and strike--one clock hand is missing. I think this clock is period Napoleon. I believe it was produced as cheap as possible to appeal to the masses--hence marbe slabs instead of solid marble. Top housing is spelter instead of bronze. Size 18" high x 10.75" wide. Needs tender loving care and will continue to march with you through history. Sold as is $1295.

His name or his deed is inscribed on the base, "Poncet g diere (?) 1806" 13" high, 8" wide Striking--consider it a sculpture in fine porcelian--no condition problems
