827. Large-scale RMS Titanic hull miniature from Titanic. (TCF, 1953) A scaled-down model (though still huge at 21 ft. long and 3 ft. wide) of the Titanic's hull used in many scenes to show the oceanliner falling apart in the Academy Award-wiining film that starred Barbara Stanwyck, Clifton Webb and Robert Wagner. Made in two separate sections and painted a teal blue, this piece is constructed of metal and wood and still displays interior gear mechanisms which worked at one time. Stenciled on the stern in white paint is "Titanic/Liverpool" and on one side is a large gash indicating where the iceberg hit. This film was considered to be a masterpiece of special efffects in 1953, and was the inspiration for the 1997 version starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. (Note: Special shipping arrangements will be required for this large piece.) $400 - $600
