Olivia_Lee Posted August 26, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Hi all. I am trying to figure out what this amazing boat is from. It is made out of entirely tin metal and hand painted. The length is approx 22"-24". It does not run on battery, winding key or anything, which suggest might not be a toy. By design, the 2 paddle wheels on both side does rotate if I turn them with my finger. I am trying to find out some history about this, and who the manufacture might be. Can't seem to find any maker marks. Thanks! Olivia Edited August 26, 2022 by Olivia_Lee ccoyle and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted August 26, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Hi Olivia, welcome to MSW! It is indeed an "antique" toy https://www.prices4antiques.com/Toy-Boat-Paddlewheel-Riverboat-Victoria-New-York-Tin-Side-Wheeler-22-inch-E8865044.html Even though it looks nothing like any real boat ever built if you like it, display it and enjoy it.

Allan Thanks, Allanyed. I do plan on displaying it. It's definitely unique. Attached is a sample photo I got from doing research on Google. By any chance if you know who sells that particular boat stand? Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted August 27, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 27, 2022 Hi Olivia, The stand may have been with the original toy set made and sold by Marklin.
