All original parts are included. All plans and instructions. I include the small book 'A Notebook for Ship Model Builders'.
It was always stored in dry conditions. Outside is a bit musty but inside is clean.

The Forester was a notable fourmasted lumber schooner built in 1900, serving the West Coast’s bustling lumber trade. These schooners were essential in transporting timber from the forests of California, Oregon, and Washington to various ports, including destinations in China, India, and Australia. The Forester remained operational until 1935, when she was retired and grounded near Martinez, California. Recreating this model offers a tangible connection to early 20th-century maritime commerce and shipbuilding craftsmanship
