*AC Payne Model Steamboat*
Thanks, Mary, for sharing the photo and posting RE: the "Rare AC Payne Model Steamboat." The photo is interesting but another from the 'side' perspective would show more. I don't know about AC Payne but, no doubt, others here like master model builder John Fryant would know. In my view the model, though admirable, would fit more in the category of 'folk art' in rendering, work, scale. And, like Frank Prudent, I'll also "pass on this one." Let us know how the auction goes. Again, what do I know?
