An assortment of maritime-related items comprising a large-scale model crane, a wooden ship model, a metal propeller, and a metal storage box.
The toy crane is a cantilever dock model constructed from pressed steel and tinplate with a lattice-girder frame. It features a rotating hammerhead jib on a square base and is finished in grey paint with a red-painted pulley wheel at the tip of the jib. The construction and design are in the style of early 20th-century manufacturers such as Bing or Joustra.
The wooden model ship is hand-carved in the manner of a World War II-era naval recognition or identification model. It depicts a battleship or cruiser with a tiered bridge structure, a single central funnel, and multiple gun turrets fitted with wire barrels. The model is finished in dark grey paint with an unpainted wooden underside.
The three-blade propeller is cast from a non-ferrous metal alloy with a dull grey surface patina. There is a small circular indented mark on the rear hub containing a stylised symbol, possibly an anchor or a character, which is not clearly legible.
The rectangular metal storage chest has a black-painted exterior and a plain interior. It is fitted with a brass-toned carry handle on the lid and a single front-mounted latch.
