Herreshoff Models

[Adam]

There is a guy selling a few old carved hulls he claims he got from the "Brownell Estate in Bristol, R.I.". Age looks about right - Any thoughts that these might be real Herreshoff Models?

They do look old, but not look like any Herreshoff models I have seen.  In my experience, most, if not all, of the models that came from the Herreshoff's were carefully labeled with writing on the back side.  Even the very early models in the collection.  -A

Mr. Langerman! Long time - Happy New year.
I figured as much but also figured I'd ask - you never Know - The old Picasso at the Garage Sale sort of thing....:-)
