Late 20th Century Scale Model of the Historic Fallasburg Covered Bridge

About the Item

Meticulously hand-built at 1:20 scale, this late 20th century American cedar frame model captures the elegant engineering of the historic Fallasburg covered bridge in Lowell, Michigan. Constructed using the Brown truss system—an American innovation patented in the mid-19th century—the model faithfully replicates each compression beam, metal support, and the precise pitch of the gabled roofline, just as it was built in 1871. Left uncovered, without shingles or siding, the skeletal frame reveals the underlying geometry and craftsmanship that make this bridge both strong and beautiful. A tribute to vernacular American architecture and Michigan history, this piece is both educational and sculptural—an ideal gift for architects, engineers, Michiganders, or lovers of fine architectural models. Whether displayed on a shelf, in an office, or in a design studio, it invites close study and admiration for the enduring ingenuity of 19th-century bridge design.

Large Scale Early 20th Century Shipbuilders Model of Sant'Antonio Steamship

Located in Gloucestershire, GB

A Highly Interesting Large Scale Shipbuilder's Model of the Sant'Antonio Steamship, Early 20th Century. This intricate model was almost certainly made as a shipbuilder's model for presentation to the original owner of the vessel. The name plate identifies her as the Sant'Antonio and details on the funnels reading OES presumably refer to the name of the shipping firm who owned her at this point in time. The vessel herself must have been enormous and this model, probably made to scale, is extremely large but it is also highly detailed. See for example the details of the rigging, the winches, the porthole-type cabin windows and the series of lifeboats. There are functioning doors and latches, moving propellors and the original paintwork, vividly rendered in blue, red and white. This piece is a beautiful example of early twentieth century model making, possibly made in Italy judging...
