Description: A model of a yacht of the 1890 period. (Possibly of a type designed by Dixon Kemp). A rigged cutter with black topsides, a red bottom and sails. A child's floating toy made after the style of a 9m pleasure yacht that could be seen sailing the Derwent estuary in the late 19th century. Good amateur quality. (considered to be a very good example of the blunt stem type in vogue at the time.)
