The Macklin battleship La Plata, clockwork, likely the crown jewel of Sam Downey Collection, hailing from Argentina, is in museum condition, is impressive to look at, and in regard to authenticity, it doesn’t get much better. It measures 28 inches long and is in excellent to pristine condition. It sold on Saturday, November 10, for $204,000. This battleship was in the collection of Bill Bertoia at some point.
