I really love the long

and will keep picking them up as the forms of them are so often strange and highly evocative

with wear to the surface of the cardboard sleeve as pictured

The box--with rules printed on the inside of the lid--shows some wear but is also in very good shape still

1953 Ship in a Jar with American Flag antique evening fan I really love the longFinally, a ship in a bottle the making of which I can completely understand! This one endeared itself to me for exactly that reason no great magic required to get that little boar n there! Nice choice of jar with red rim too, which, in combination with the yellow painted sides of the wooden boat make it quite a cheerful thing, with a nice hand drawn (looks like crayon) paper flag waving on high, too. Happy. 4" t x 3 1 4" w and in very good condition.
