7ft Antique/Vintage Model USS Farragut DD-384 Destroyer. OK, this is amazingly impressive! The model itself is just over 7ft long at 87″ it is about 10″ wide and the tallest mast is 24 The quality and workmanship is unsurpassed. I’m not sure who the maker is, but it could be a Van Ryper model, here’s why I think that. During my limited amount of research, I’ve found that in WWII Van Ryper switched from making the smaller tourist ocean liners, to making large scale models for the US Military. I believe what I have may be those. I’d be grateful to anyone who can provide more information on who the maker is. Thus I think my asking price is fair on this vintage model. From what I can see, the model is complete, but some of the rigging needs to be re-worked. One of the arms that holds the lifeboats in place has a bit of damage, there are some small posts and as I mentioned, rigging that is loose or seperated. The lifeboats and other small parts have come loose. This probably happened when it was moved. The frame is fine, the housing and gun turrets are fine etc. This item is in the category “Toys & Hobbies\Models & Kits\Boats & Ships”.
