My guess is the winch was made in the 60's or 70's. Winch was said to be working when the boat was scrapped. The outside fittings look in good shape and the gypsy winch accepts 1/2 diameter link anchor chain. I dont know the voltage for sure, but I think it is 110 volts. Needs a good coat of paint, some brass polishing and she will look shipshape...A modern version of this winch would cost thousands...but this seajunk bargain is... $ 575.00......Photo 1.....Photo 2.....Photo 3.....Photo 4.....Photo 5.....Photo 6.....

  61. .....RMS Lusitania Advertising Sign:.....Very colorful handcarved mahogany wall "ad sign". This is a one of a kind ship carving made several years ago by a real shipcarver. The ship is carved in high relief and handpainted. Marine art measures 23x14 inches and is one inch thick. Piece has some character and a small edge crack, but no big deal......$ 250.00......"Shipping Available Worldwide for any cargo on this list"

  62. Brass & Copper POLISH:...The authentic and original maritime formula, no phoney instant shine malarky...You will need to use some elbow grease, but this type of shine is seen only in 1st Class areas...the best brass & copper polish in the world, just look at our stuff to see how it works....$ 24.95 for a full pint....Photo of Polish
