Much Eroded Old Cast Metal Submarine vintage pacakging and this brown paint onI have no idea the original maker of this submarine, cast iron it seems, but it certainly looks ancient now, and as if it has been long lost at sea! I love it for precisely that reason, and for the fin at what I guess is the top looking rather like a tsunami. This feels like the sort of thing that should give rise to a novel or a screenplay, so evocative and with a bit of an eeriness about it, as if dug up post apocalypse. 4 5 8 l x 1 3 4 t x 1 1 4 w.
