Not worth a great deal,lots of them about...ebay has lots,most unsold...this one may have more curio value,seeing as how its got,more than one element...and  old and new are  depicted. in it...judging by the helicopter..it was made in the 50,s..here,s one from ebay with more than one element...and this is the highest priced one, out of hundreds....

Cute item  Not worth alot unless made by a famed artist, over 100 years old and has a particular ship.  Must be of high quality work.

Still, people like these curiosities!
