Historic Lifeboat Model Found
Museum Model Issue Historic Lifeboat Model Found “Eliza Fernley” Southport Lifeboat 1874 Rare, One-of-a-Kind Model Southport Lifeboats were huge, 34’ pulling craft with minor sail, requiring a crew of 16 men! They stood at ready in boathouses on specially made horse wagons, which would pull them down to the beaches, as needed. January 1874, a new boat, the “Eliza Fernley” was dedicated. She remained in service until 1886. On the 9th. of December, the last call out of the Eliza Fernley proved to be one of the most tragic lifeboat disasters ever known. The German barque “Mexico,” on her way to South America got into difficulty during a fierce storm, and went aground at Ainsdale, where an immense wave crashed down onto the open lifeboat filling and sinking her immediately. She rose keel upwards and failed to right herself. The crew of sixteen did not stand a chance, and only two men survived. The Eliza Fernley was taken back to the boathouse and condemned after 12 years service. This is an historical model that found it’s way to us on a very circuitous route that we’re proud to have for sale! Fully rigged, built of wood and painted, it’s all there, including a sea anchor! A dozen sweeps (oars), along with two spares, mast, all the lines and blocks and belaying pins. The carriage is a little rickety, but functional. A stunning, beautiful, and historical model that is 74” long with a beam of 19 ½”. The carriage has 10”Ø front and 16”Ø rear, wooden, spoke wheels with rubber tyres. A spectacular museum piece!

C all this our rare ship model catalog, if you will. You’ll be taken by the stunning “builder’s models” that I scored in England, on my recent trip! Unusual vehicle types and makes, along with ship models, have long been my passion.

Then I thought, since I am very fond of obscure military vehicles, and I had found a great array of European rarities along with American goodies, all in workable 1:43 scale, I should crowd the pages with them too. Oh yes.., submarines! Found a bunch of the world’s submarines in very limited numbers. I think you’ll love this catalog, even if you only use it as a reference work!

Charli lives on Lake Constance in Switzerland, and has watched and became enamored of the beautiful old side-wheelers that ply the Swiss lakes.

Kept as clean as grandma’s parlor, some are over 100 years old and still in service, the pride of Swiss transportation. Charli is our source for the finest miniature ship models in the world.

Ergo it is typical that only a half-hull was carved to check the lines. Ditto with planking or plating models. All half hulls, since both sides had to be the same. What usually distinguished a builder’s model from a boardroom model, in the late 19th and early 20th century, is the builder’s model was half of the complete ship mounted on a mirror, giving the uncanny illusion of a complete ship. Only when you step to the end of the case, and carefully look, you’ll see that it’s only a half. Fantastic!

Period! Winners of more than 30 international 1st prizes for the best model cars made, seems to justify what we’ve said from day one. Drawn in Germany by Herbert Nickerl, and made by hand in China under the direction of the company’s chief, Shuxiao Jia, quality isn’t a question. In fact, every xenophobe should be ashamed for bashing “Made in China”, as if making stuff in a country other than ours is a bad thing! Just imagine, if you are able, an aluminum wheel rim, 7/8” Ø, with cross-laced stainless spokes, where each spoke has a spoke nipple where it attaches to the rim. That defines not only quality, but also a great deal of pride. Just imagine a model 9 ½” long made of zinc, stainless steel, leather, wood, rubber, chrome, nickel, and brass, consisting of well over 1100 individual pieces, and that’s what you get in every one of these exquisite models. (Try making them in the USA, and go broke). Worth twice the price, for sure.

B. Korn Specialty Products Mfg. Co. (of Los Angeles) products were the elite! Design, durability, and craftsmanship were second to none. These cars are still highly sought after by novice and advanced collectors alike. If any miniature race car had a "magical" aura, one would have to consider the B. B. Korn Indianapolis a likely prospect. At 20 ½” long, the “Indy” was a large car. The first “Indy” cars, produced in 1940, were cast aluminum with louvered sheet aluminum hoods and belly pan. These were topof-the-line cars and so were their prices, at $49.50, less engine! A subsequent version of the Indy car made of more competitive lightweight magnesium was offered in September 1940 for $53.50. Pressure pump, brake handle, steering wheel, upholstered seat, simulated instrument panel, and windshield were, with the exception of an "optional" hood scoop, all standard equipment for the completely assembled car. Every Indianapolis car was personally assembled by hand and serially numbered by Barney Korn and an assistant. They could be purchased polished or painted in any color desired.

(We like ‘em better than the Brit Acme whistles). This old company has been supplying whistles to the militaries and policing agencies of France, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, and others for many years, which should make them good enough for us! SONNENLEDER, Germany Jens Gohres, the owner of Sonnenleder, is my kind of throwback! Uncompromising in his outlook: everything that goes into his products must be natural. There isn’t a trace of synthetic or chemical in anything he makes. And the workmanship must be of an unimpeachable quality. That or nothing! And it shows. His leather is fabulous. Smells and feels so good, you just want to caress it. Using only the hides from organically raised alpine cows and an old, vegetable tanning process, that takes upwards of twelve weeks, he does it all. Tanning, cutting, sewing and finishing. It shows. All of these beautifully rub-polished or vegetable dyed products gracefully get darker with age.

All share the same running gear: simple open-wheeled racing die-cast components, tires, rubber bumper, clockwork and so forth! Done in the die-cast-making process, many small and intricate shapes can be made fairly rapidly and with great accuracy. The basic metal component is zinc. All Lilliput Micro-Racer castings are hand-trimmed, burnished, pickled, and then primed and painted with automotive paints to the RAL color standards. One of the great Schuco innovations was that you could “freewheel” the Micro-Racers with the spring wound or unwound, without damage to the gears or mainspring, rolling it forward or backwards! The name “Micro” came not from the diminutive size of the cars (1:45 scale), but rather from the micro-threaded steering adjustment, usually the tailpipe of the car. This meant, that so long as the tires were round, one could set hairpin-sharp courses. The whole key to these little marvels was that they were: tiny, heavy, and had steel mainsprings. Couple that with sticky, fat rubber tires for directional stability, and you could go screaming across your parquet floors at speeds (actual) up to 35mph! And so that Mother wouldn’t yell at us when they hit the furniture, all Micro’s were equipped with rubber bumpers on their noses. 20th Anniversary Gold & Silver Jaguar Ltd Edition 200 After many years of not having any of these fabulous “E” type Jag MicroRacers, we decided to kick out all the stops, spend a bunch of money to fix the tooling, and bring these gorgeous, desirable, and rare #1047/1’s back for our big celebration… A matched pair of one Gold-plated and one Silver-plated Jaguar XKE. Serially numbered, from 1 to 200. The pair comes in a special, commemorative wooden box, complete with certificate of authenticity. You’ll want these for your collection, for sure!

We had ‘em in our San Francisco store. Over time it became increasingly difficult to find them. A pallet full in Latvia, a couple of cases in Kiev, and so on. Recently a contact in Germany actually had ordered a whole bunch made new. Well, he sent the money, but got stiffed on the goods: no sewing machines! Frustrated, since we still have back-orders from 2 years ago, I happened to chat with an old Eastern Bloc hand who deals in Russian goods, and guess what! He had just driven there pulling a trailer and brought back a modest bunch. We took ‘em all! These machines really sew! Sew well, with a chain stitch. Use a nr. 9 needle.

HM Submarine M1 was developed toward the end of the First World War. Unique in the history of submarine design, she and her sisters M2 and M3 were fitted with 12 inch guns from a scrapped battleship..! This gave the M-Class the ability to sneak-up on shore installations and surface vessels, rise to the surface and deliver a formidable blow from very short range. No merchant vessel was expected to survive a hit from M1. She was completed before the war ended, but not employed in combat because the Royal Navy feared that Germany could copy the design. The M1 was sunk with the entire crew of 69 while submerged on exercise on 12 Nov. 1925. Constructed by Messrs. Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness, launched July 1917. This is a full hull model, presented in a mahogany and glass case measuring 64” x 12” x 19 ½”. The ship model measures 53” long. TMM06 $7895.50 Customer Number Source Code 321 S.
