Antique Vintage Maritime Ship Figurehead Riverboat Liberty Nautical Carved Wood

Description

Antique Vintage Maritime Ship Figurehead Riverboat Liberty Nautical Carved Wood
A true treasure find here! Solid wood, very heavy, approximately 150 pounds. Approximately 66" tall from bottom of base to top of her torch. It is RARE to find these, a true centerpiece in a nautical collection. Probably belongs in a museum. I was told this was from a turn-of-the-century riverboat named Liberty. When will you have another opportunity to own such a great piece of nautical Americana?
We strongly prefer local pickup in the San Antonio, Texas, area (specifically, Seguin, Texas); however, if this is not possible, shipping can be arranged at the buyer's cost which I estimate to be 0, depending on destination. This is being stored in my pet-free, smoke-free home. Check out my

Other Information
Thank you for looking at my merchandise. I really appreciate your browsing and shopping. Mostly the buying, but it's all appreciated nonetheless.
PayPal is my preferred method of payment. Who am I kidding? I prefer cash. But since that isn't an option, we will discuss PayPal. Payments must clear before the item(s) will be shipped. I do not ship to unconfirmed addresses (be a grownup and confirm it, already!), nor do I ship outside the contiguous 48 states or to APOs. If you don't know what an APO is, then it doesn't apply to you. No need to lose any sleep over it. Or you can just google it and kill another two minutes of the day.
Texas residents will be charged 8.25% tax - otherwise, the state comptroller will get very cranky. Buyers from other states will not be charged sales tax, but if this makes you feel left out, you can tip me. I'm not too proud. I even happily accept tips greater than 8.25%.
I am happy to leave positive feedback for those who kindly take the time to do the same for me. Yes, it's a pain to take the time to leave feedback for me. But it gives me warm fuzzies. I LOVE warm fuzzies. And remember... Santa takes notes all year long. You don't want to get on his naughty list. Well, not for that reason anyway. ;)
Color is subjective. The digital pictures I display are sometimes less than optimal. Well, not "sometimes". Let's be honest and say "almost always". I am not a professional photographer and I do not have a photo studio. I don't have a pet monkey either. All things I regret. Also, I cannot be held responsible for the differences in individual monitor settings. (You know you love to set that fluorescent pink filter on high! You go, girl!) Additionally, different lighting may affect the color perception of an item, so please be familiar with the items you are purchasing.
It is possible that not all things in the pictures are included in the auction. For example, if, for some reason, my Aunt Bertha did a photo bomb when I was taking a picture of an item, you CANNOT BUY HER! Well, probably not. Make me an offer. Full disclosure: She passes gas. A lot. But I digress. The point is: Please read the description carefully, and ask questions if you are unsure about what is and is not included.
All items come from a pet-free, smoke-free, very clean home. No seriously. I have 19 bottles of Windex.
I am in no way affiliated with (nor is this auction condoned by) any of the companies whose products I am selling. My children also don't claim to know me when we are in public.
