Vintage Clipper Ship Flying Cloud 1930's Ship Model Plans 4 big sheets

Description

-Flying Cloud-
An original set of ship model plans originally drawn by Louis B. Tiemann and published by Popular Mechanics in the 1930's.  This set of plans has been folded and filed away in an envelope for decades. The paper is old and its a bit fragile. Some small tears are within the folds and edges. Overall the plan is in good condition but should be handled with care. Sold AS IS with no returns.  Large set of plans consist of 4 sheets and the envelope they were stored in since Marc 21 1931.  This date is written on the lower front side of the envelope. Shipped folded and in the original envelope in USA via Priority USA Mail.  A rare find indeed. Sheets would look fantastic if professionally matted and framed for display or of course perfect for building a model of the Flying Cloud.
