TITLE

WAPW Vintage Ellis Island Pewter Miniature Building UK Souvenir Z134

MOBILE OVERVIEW

A wonderfully detailed vintage W.A.P.W. pewter miniature depicting the landmark Ellis Island Main Immigration Building. Made in the United Kingdom and marked Z134, this compact architectural collectible carries special meaning for genealogists, family historians, immigration-history collectors, and families whose American story began at Ellis Island.

DESCRIPTION

This vintage cast-pewter architectural miniature recreates the recognizable façade of the Ellis Island Main Immigration Building, including its arched entrance windows, textured roof, ornamental towers, and raised ELLIS ISLAND lettering across the base.

More than 12 million immigrants were processed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954, giving the landmark lasting significance in American family and immigration history.

The underside is marked W.A.P.W. © MADE IN UK and Z134. W.A.P.W. is commonly identified as the Welsh Association of Pewter Works. Z134 appears to be the manufacturer’s design, mold, or catalog number rather than a pewter-content mark.

One corner tower sits at a slight outward angle. The metal is rigid, and there is no visible break, crease, separation, or repair. The angle appears consistent with an original casting or manufacturing variation rather than later damage. It is clearly shown in the photographs and has not been altered or straightened.

Weighing approximately 192 grams, this substantial little architectural piece is suited to a desk, bookshelf, home library, genealogy room, office, curio cabinet, or collection of New York and American historical memorabilia.
