Description :

Liberty Bell 7 desktop model. This one is a puzzle for us – Grissom’s capsule is mounted on a wood block with a photo affixed to the base. However, the model itself feels rather “flimsy” compared to most of our client’s other models. It’s super-light weight and when the top section is removed, the interior is made of cardboard. We can find no maker mark, but on the upper section the following is printed: NAR-27845 with T-001 right below. There’s a mix of great detail, but also a strange feeling of “home-made” to it, too; the plaque with the photo almost appears to be repurposed as there is residue of a previous label and evidence of wall-mounting on the verso. We’ve put a lot of pictures in here because we really can’t figure this one out. Condition is pretty good albeit dusty - it would show much better with a bit of a scrub.

Dimensions : 7 in W x 12 in H
