The picture below shows a larger view of all (4) Different Small Old Decorative Novelty Miniature Sailing Ships In Bottles in this lot. The cereal box pictured below is ONLY SHOWN FOR REFERENCE and it is not included in this lot. These are not dated and the years that three of these were made are unknown. The largest one appears to be an unnamed Schooner ship. It is a glass bottle, on a wooden base, with a cork, and it has a red plastic seal on the rope (string). It is not marked. Next there is the Canadian Schooner sailing ship. It is in a plastic bottle, with glittery snow globe particles inside, but it is empty of water.has a thin plastic ship and the name “BLUENOSE” inside. This was probably an old souvenir of Nova Scotia, Canada. The bottle end reads “MADE IN HONG KONG NO. 358”. Th third one here has another unnamed Schooner, with an American flag, in a small three sided glass bottle with a cork. The fourth one here can not be seen because it is unassembled in an unopened plastic bag with “HOW TO ASSEMBLE SHIP IN BOTTLE” instructions. This is a 1978 Post Honeycomb cereal box prize. The cereal box pictured is ONLY SHOWN FOR REFERENCE and it is not included here. There are the clear plastic bottle parts inside, along with a foil paper punch out of the ship “BONHOMME RICHARD 1779” to place in the bottle. This was one of four different models kits to the set. All four of these novelty Ships in Bottles for one price! To judge the sizes the largest bottle measures about 4-3/4'' x 2-1/2'' x 1-1/8''. These appear to be in excellent to mint unopened and unassembled condition as pictured, except the souvenir snow dome one is missing its water. |
