This is a great
VINTAGE
MODEL SPEEDBOAT
In my estimation it dates from around the 1930's, but please make up your own mind about this.
The boat measures approx 27 inches ( 690 mm) long overall and is made from varnished wood.
It is in good overall condition with light general wear and some flaking of the varnish (see photos).
The boat has an electric motor controled by an On / Off switch behind the cockpit. I have not tested this, but it look as though it should run OK.
The brass propeller turns freely, as does the rudder.
This is a great vintage model speedboat; it is unamed, but is similar to the models made by the "K" firm.
It would make a great display item, and be a fine addition to any collection.
Please see the photos for condition and type
