Damp Squib

Here is one of my many "flops," the British four-masted barque Marion Lightbody.     I sent it to a London auction where it sold for £150.   After commission, I got £100.35.      It cost £25 to send it there, reducing the profit to £75.35, of which income tax took £15.07, reducing it further to £60.28.   It took 57 hours to build, giving a result of  £1.05 per hour!
