Thanks nui 'umi 'umi & uncle trav

I'm familiar with the nautical pieces you mention, uncle trav - I looked around yesterday and they mostly seemed to be from the 40s, but searching for 1920 galleons there were plenty. So I feel more confident it could be older.

There were at least 15 pirate movies made in the 1920s - starring Errol Flynne, Douglas Fairbanks and others.

I don't know what Witco uses to mask off areas they want to protect from sandblasting. but this design is duplicated exactly - Probably from a screening of masking material. So that seems to indicate it was made more than once - or maybe once as a prop for a movie? A studio would have the means to pull off something like this and I do live in LA. Who knows?

The theme is kind of confusing - Original sin and tropical pirate? And the rails are not finished as well or drawn as well.

Hey, thanks for the helpful input!
