This Amazing model of the SS St Louis by Bassett Lowke is 100ft to 1inch and considering its size it is extremely well detailed and in superb condition never having left its box and is in immaculate condition.
This waterline model of the SS St Louis is boxed and including the box both are in immaculate condition.
This is indeed a rare little model and was originally purchased and has been in the ownership of one very careful collector for many years
The original box has no markings but is almost certainly a Bassett Lowke model
