The William Amburn Scale Model Collection Victorian
I am selling my client's father’s beautiful handcrafted 1:12 model collection. There are 7 pieces that we are selling. These models are built to a scale of one inch to the foot. They are wired for lighting and light fixtures, furniture may be included.
Mr Amburn, Port Townsend resident, was a school teacher turned detailed skilled woodworking craftsman and building contractor. He labored, mortised, carved, chiseled, and hewn even the most minute details on his authentic Victorian village which took 10 years to produce. A few of the 10 buildings have been sold or donated but we have a few precious pieces available still for sale. This Victorian village was displayed in Port Townsend at the Jefferson County Museum in 2018. Appraised prices are from over 12 years ago.
We have these items listed separately for more detailed information. See each listing...
