Keywind nice and tight, brass propeller turns at high rpm. Boat Model includes windshield without glass, brass rudder, kelly green hull with black waterline. Model appears old with wear patterns consistent with age & usage. Motorboat from the estate of a steam engine model collector. Beyond that, uncertain of provenance; no apparent maker's marks from Bing, Shuco, etc.? We suspect brass chain rail and eyelet stanchions may be later embellishments and not original to the model; buyer's choice to change. Length 11-7/8" x Beam 3-1/2".
