He created ship models that came to be prized by museums all over the country — more than 40 are displayed in the Smithsonian Institute alone. He established the Boucher Model Shop in 1905 in Manhattan and began manufacture of toy and model boats powered by horizontal center flue steam boilers. ***Domestic shipping for this lot will be $45, International shipping to be determined.***
