Vintage all wood model Viking ship Gokstad, very old folk art
This was not a kit, was hand built I belive around the turn of the Century. It was modeled after the life size replica built in Norway for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago. (see last photo) The replica is still on display in a park in Geneva, Illinois. There are only 7 original oars and no shields, do not know if there were any. Model needs some TLC, could be restored into a fine piece for someone interested in Viking ships. It is 20″ long and 13″ high. Includes original dragon shaped stand. The body itself is very sturdy.
