Our Services

Our Museum Collection is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an important historical artifact collection.

160 items

The ship is a yet unidentified British Warship from the early 1700's, guaranteed that she went down before 1750.  Identification is expected.
All iron artifacts in this collection are either undergoing reverse electrolysis, or waiting to. Buyer may purchase as is (if they will perform the proper restoration - support available at no charge) or wait for electrolysis to be completed (our restoration is second to none and we have been doing restorations since 1981).  All brass, bronze, brick, stone, ceramic, lead and other items have been stabilized and are ready for shipment.

This would make an amazing personal collection, an attraction for a restaurant (call us for our ideas) or a fantastic display for museum or other public display.

Not all items are pictured, I will add more photos in the coming days.
