Barbour's Yachts.

Reading edition

These are perfect representations in shape and color of some famous Yachts, Steamboats, Ocean Steamers, etc., of the day. They are beautifully lithographed in several bright colors on heavy cardboard. The length, size, speed and the most important points of interest are given on the reverse side of each yacht. The Set contains a folding board, 22 in. long, with slots (representing the sea) in which to place the vessels. Thus a beautiful and interchangeable marine scene is presented.

1. Tug Boat. 2. New York. 3. Steam Yacht. 4. Priscilla. 5. Valkyrie. 6. Defender. 7. Swallow. 8. Lucania. 9. Ethelwynne. 10. Lighthouse.

These miniature boats are so true to nature that they are of real interest to old and young, and to those who live at a distance from the ocean or large bodies of water they will be object-lessons of great value.

The Complete Set mailed to any address on receipt of four 2-cent stamps.
