Description
An exquisite model of a Gatsby-era Ditchburn Cruiser with bow pennant and the original canvas canopy and canvas covered railing. The hull retains the original white paint and varnish on the decks, brass mesh on the pilot cabin windows, and a lifeboat. The Ditchburn Boat company was established on Lake Muskoka in 1871 and in 1929 they produced a large impressive lake cruiser of the same design as this model. In 2015 the full size 58' "High Tea", was returned home to Muskoka from the US. The model is in very good condition but with a mast that needs repair, on its original base. Circa 1929. H: 15", L: 28", W: 6". CODE:NAUT
