Description

Saved from garbage bin. Secretly hoping it is junk, because I want to spray paint it. The splotches are not dirt, they are 'patina'. As soon as someone says 'its worthless', I'm going to paint it.

Re: Brass ship on driftwood

Thanks to both of you. Since posting this, I've come to love and appreciate it's natural beauty, and have (thankfully) discarded any thoughts of spray painting it glitter-glam silver with rhinestones.

Answering Pheonixguy - there is only one piece of damage. The rightmost triangular sail separated and needs to be soldered on. You can see that its collapsed. There is no signature that I could find.
