Description:
steam engine powered tin boat. The front of the brass boiler has the company seal stamped into the plate. The boat is all original except for the addition of the name "Anglo Saxon" on the bow and a star spangled crest on the stem. The paint is otherwise original in and out. The piston that drives the propeller is free and the flywheel spins turning the prop and shaft. The rudder can be adjusted port to starboard with the tiller located at the stern of the boat. The rudder moves very easily. Missing is the burner, chimney and a flag for the stern. It has the number 25 stamped in reverse in the keel, and the 25 is for 25 centimeters LOA.
