Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:21229276 | Modified Item: No |
| Year: 1938 |
Offered is an original #43 Lionel speed boat with stand and key. I purchased this at auction decades ago....it has original paint, which has very few minor chips. It has the original key because someone had the sense to tie a lanyard to it and place it in the rear seat. I removed it from the cabinet and oiled it. The key wind mechanism works perfectly. The 2 figures appear to be fixed, probably glued in place. The paint has turned to off white, assum...ing it was white to begin with. The only paint loss I see is chipping on the prop shaft housing, which can be seen in one of the images. Buyer pays shipping cost via FedEx.On Oct-18-19 at 20:45:57 PDT, seller added the following information:I was just cleaning out the cabinet where the boat was stored and found the flag that I had forgotten about. I believe that it could be original to the boat.as it is fabric on a brass staff and thread stitched by machine. I will post an image.
