Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding! Please take a look at my other auctions. If you enjoy toy boats such as the early German dreadnaught makers Marklin Bing and Carette please pickup a copy of TOY BOATS by Robert Forbes or "The Allure of Toy Ships" by Dick Claus. In the book you?ll see the Orkin Craft battleship and Radiguet ocean liner plus Fleischmann tinplate submarine with clockwork mechanism. Also pictured are Weeden Bliss and Falk tin windup boats from the early 1900s. Don?t forget JEP Ives and Bliss. They were also very prominent as was George Brown. Ernst Plank and Arnold also made gunboat s of superb quality some with live steam and some with windup propulsion. Whatever your interest, this is a great place to start.
