Hi all. New member here. And by new, I really mean it. I know nothing other than been following Leo Goolden's Tally-Ho rebuild project20230506_150626.jpg20230506_150636.jpg20230506_150758.jpg for the last 5+ years. Anyway. I acquired a large America's Cup Columbia model for cheap at an auction over the weekend and am curious about it. The sign plaque on it says 1899 and also 1901 America's cup. it measures 43" in length, 50" from base to top of the mast. But it has a lot more stuff on deck than I would expect from a racing boat - including a lifeboat. See attached pics - I can post more if needed. If it has any value, I would like to put it up for sale and put the funds towards my first kit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
