Fisher fitting set box packed with scale blocks, deadeyes, rigging lines, stanchions, anchors, and fine cast metal details. The original master blueprint layout pages, station templates, and specialized rigging/belaying pin plans are crisp. Please note: while an expansive collection of original blueprints is included, not all structural sheets have been individually photographed. The original outer cardboard shipping box shows heavy vintage tattering, tears, and missing paper on the factory label due to decades of storage, but it has done its job perfectly by keeping the internal wooden hull and building components protected. This is a top-tier project for an experienced wooden shipwright or a fantastic addition to a maritime collection. Ships promptly and securely packaged in a heavy-duty outer box to protect the historic contents. Please look closely at all details to confirm compatibility with your building project. Thanks for looking!
