I came across this a few months ago at the weekend flea market on 24th street (between 6th and 7th avenues). I don't know much about it. It appears to be home made. There are no significant markings on the piece (though I haven't opened it, and don't intend to - I don't want to damage or alter it). Most of the ship dioramas I've seen are much larger. (I'll post some in the future).
I think this one is well done... dark stained wood - nice, well proportioned ship and good details (like the water/waves). I like the hand made look.. The ship masts look like they were made with toothpicks.
This will give you an idea of the model's size
