LARGE TIN BATTERY OP SEAMAID SPEED RACING BOAT PARTS RESTORE MSK JAPAN

Description

I'm selling a beautiful vintage "Seamaid" tin battery-operated racing boat made by MSK/Taniguchi of Japan. The boat measures 17 inches L x 6" W x 4.5" H (including rudder). It is in good physical condition, although it has not been tested in all the years it has been in our home. The "boy" who originally owned it lived a fairly long life (Vietnam Veteran) and has passed on. The top compartment lifts easily for placement of two D batteries. T
here is also a small flag missing from the back of the boat which could be replaced.
Please see all photos for condition.
This is a really beautiful tin boat that displays wonderfully. It is not made out of wood like many boats of the 1950's were. This is tin made to look like wood and the simulated wood grain is really nice. There is a real compass on the boat's dashboard; it moves but I am not really sure if it works or not.
This would be a marvelous boat to add to a collection, to polish and restore or it looks great just as it is. Thanks for your interest and good luck. Our family has enjoyed this on display in a glass cabinet for many years and I hope the new boat owners will love it!
