Fretwell Singer Torpedo 1/16th scale
resin kit (may also contain parts made of plastic, wood & metal) .

construction to the Brooke's Torpedo, what made this device novel was its

a second line was attached to a weight shaped like a turtle. If an
attempt was made to lift the torpedo, the weighted line would release a
firing pin to set off the charge. Wood display base
& resin name plate included. Master sculpted by James A Harder.
