Condition Report
The models in lot 106 are hand-built and very much in the style of Bassett-Lowke. They are inscribed underneath the hull (thus not secured in their cases) They appear to be signed with a monogram, and dated, but we have no idea of the modeller so have to assume they are good amateur pieces. There is evidence on the undersides that they were once secured (glued) in securely.
