Antique Folk Art Zeppelin Airship Model - A hand-crafted folk art model of a zeppelin or dirigible airship, constructed from multiple longitudinal carved wooden staves joined to form a characteristic cigar-shaped fuselage. The model features a dark-painted nose cone decorated with white painted dots and four metal tail fins at the rear. A single-wheel metal landing gear assembly is present on the underside. The surface retains traces of white and red-toned paint over a weathered wooden base, with dark pinstripe lines accentuating the joints of the staves. Dimensions: 25 inches in length.
