Description
A vintage tin and plastic battery-operated cabin cruiser featuring a yellow hull with a red lower section and lithographed wood-grain effect decks. The vessel is constructed with a tin hull and deck, featuring a plastic superstructure, windows, and accessories. It includes a metal mast with a radar dish, a plastic lifeboat suspended from metal davits, a bow anchor, and a forward flag. The aft deck is fitted with two large red plastic knobs, one embossed with the numerals 1 to 8. The funnel is decorated with a printed logo of blue wings flanking a yellow and orange centre. A diamond-shaped mark is present on the aft deck between the control knobs, though the characters within are not legible.
Length: 49.5 cm.
Condition report:
Significant dust accumulation is visible across all upper surfaces (photo 2). The metal railings, mast, and radar dish show surface oxidation and light pitting (photo 1). There are minor scuffs and small paint losses along the edges of the lithographed tinplate sections (photo 3). The battery-operated mechanism is untested.
