This wonderful toy boat was made by George Carette of Germany around 1901 and measures approximately 17" in length from forward tip to end of rudder and powered by a clockwork motor (working - a key will also be included in this auction) and is made of heavy guage metal. Wonderful profession restoration (as pictured). A very rare opportunity to own one of the nicest toy boats of its time. This auction is for the 17" Carette boat only - lighthouse and smaller Bing boat are used for scale comparison only and are NOT INCLUDED . This is a final sale auction so please ask any questions prior to bidding. Winning bidder to pay shipping and insurance costs. Payment by PayPal only. . Thanks for looking and ! 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.
