vintage wooden model ship kit from Model Shipways of Bogta, New Jersey. This is a 5/64ths scale model of the United States warship, the frigate, USS Essex. The main hull block of the ship measures about 12" long.

This kit is unbuilt and while we didn't do a piece by piece inventory, it appears complete as shown. It has all sorts of tiny parts in the original paper envelopes, cast metal anchors, miniature metal cannon barrels, wooden pulley blocks and more.

The orginal box is worn and spotted.
