I was alerted to your plans via a researcher. I would like to arrange personal purchase at the quoted U.S. price. The plans will then be transferred to local GL archives collection containing many other vessel plans publicly available for researchers. I'm not clear how to proceed, other than advisement in the rules that we must use PayPal. Please advise.

Laura,

Please contact me at marcjvandermeulenATsbcglobal.net

I have been away from the computer due to recovering from surgery to remove a large tumor from my skull.
Apologies for not updating this sooner.

While I was away the plans were sold and have shipped.

These prints are cursed.
I’m moving this year due to ill health

They will not be coming with me.
If I don’t sell them they will end up in a landfill like most of my other possessions.

Asking $300 for them.
$320 to Canada.

I can email pics of the prints

Can someone please help?

Prints at still for sale.

I’m in bad health and need the funds for bills.


$380 shipped anywhere in the US, $400 shipped anywhere to Canada.

Prints are still for sale.

Buyer bailed, leaving me high and dry.
Listed on EBay for $450 plus shipping.

Sold pending funds

I’m loathe to part with these but poor health and poorer finances force my hand.

I acquired these almost 20 years ago and they have been a gem of my Great Lakes memorabilia collection ever since.

Their history (as I remember it) was that they were saved from destruction when the shipyard they were stored at was closed and being liquidated.
I think it was Toledo, but don’t hold me to that.

I have photos of all of the prints, and can email them.

Prints will ship in three large shipping tubes.

Asking $300 plus shipping, or best offer.

My email is lenvil@pitviperstudios.net

I accept PayPal and cashiers checks and Postal Money Orders (both of those methods will have to clear in the bank before shipping)
