I think it's the old (
very old) Pyro
Gertrude L. Thebaud. Pyro, and later Lindberg (I think), marketed that kit for a while under the label "American Cup Racer." Note the verbiage - "American Cup," rather than "
America's Cup." I wondered at the time whether those words were chosen to let the firm avoid charges of deceptive advertising.
Three clues: 1. This company apparently is in the habit of reboxing Pyro kits. 2. The dories on the deck in the picture: this isn't a racing yacht; it's a fishing schooner. 3. The shape of the bow. It has that radical sweep of the
Thebaud, rather than the near-vertical stem and sharply-curved forefoot of the
Bluenose.
The old Pyro kit wasn't bad - for its time. It was one of the very first plastic sailing ship kits; I think it first appeared in about 1955 or 1956. The firm was nicknamed, in some quarters, "Pirate Plastics," due to its habit of releasing ships of the same names and scales as certain wood kit manufacturers' products. The now-defunct Marine Models firm, on Long Island, issued a 1/8"=1' scale
Thebaud in the forties; I think the Pyro kit is, in essence, a plastic version of that kit.
As I remember it had a one-piece hull; the modeler was told to drill holes through it for mounting the eyebolts for the bowsprit rigging. Most of the fittings were remarkably similar to the white metal castings in the Marine Models kit. Building the Pyro one was, in fact, remarkably similar to building a solid-hull wood kit, minus the sanding, trimming, and grain filling.
The original issue had no sails; they got added in some later incarnation. The "blocks" were horrible, oversized chunks of plastic only vaguely resembling the real things. The "deadeyes" and "lanyards" were molded in with the chainplates, in such a way that the thread used for the shrouds could be threaded between the "lanyards" and actually seized around the "deadeyes." That approach was, I suppose, at least as realistic as the gawdawful plastic "deadeyes and lanyards" that Revell was producing at the time. And I don't believe Pyro ever made a kit with those hideous plastic-coated-thread "shroud and ratline assemblies" beloved of Revell and Airfix.
For all that, the kit produced something that looked remarkably like a fishing schooner - or at least a wood model of one. Not a bad kit, all in all - but hardly state-of-the-art.
