HMS York RN heavy cruiser 1930s mm 1:1800 scale

A solid cast waterline model in 1/1800 scale in lead alloy produced in the late 1930s by UK toy company Timpo. Produced as a rival range to the more well known Dinky models of the same scale. Much better than the Dinky range in my opinion, cast in lead alloy so not prone to fatigue like the Dinky models often are.  The model is in   good original finish,  a little wear to paint, missing mast .Approx. 95mm long.

A nice  rare survivor from the early days of waterline ship models and seldom seen.

These early models do contain lead so are not suitable as toys or for those under 14 years of age.
