This ship in a bottle has been sat on the shelf of my father’s house for as long back as I can remember. I have now inherited it and have no need for it.

 

The age of the bottle has caused the wax seal to split on the top of the bottle. This has allowed air to get in and has created a type of crystallised frosting on the inside of the glass inside the bottle at some stage. Ideally the top needs to be removed. The glass cleaned from the inside and a fresh wax seal applied. However, this would alter the look and age of the bottle. The dimensions are circa 8cm x 30cm.

 

There is also a small piece of paper the size of a very small microchip that has come loose and is floating around inside.

 

Now that I have described all the faults. It’s a great object to have on your shelf in you like ships in bottles. It is just not something that fits in my home.

 

Any questions please ask.

 

I will post well packaged and with APC couriers. They will attempt delivery and will leave in a safe place if you contact me at time of buying. I can notify the courier if you want it leaving somewhere safe. You are responsible for the item if it is left in a safe place. I.e. with a neighbour or behind a gate etc. It will be well packaged for transit. Please see previous items sold for feedback to see that I package items well.

 

Alternatively, you can collect if you prefer. I will accept cash on collection.

 

I am located in Droitwich (Worcestershire) 10 minutes from the M5 motorway Jc5 or Jc6.
