1936 Lionel, #44 Speed Boat in Original Box
Price: US $1592.89
New TemplateToy Name:Lionel, #44 Speedboat inOriginal Box
Year: 1936 Description:Fantastic example of Lionel\'s #44Clockwork Speedboat with composition figures, key, and original stand.It all comes complete with its original box.Classic 12 cylinder streamlined speed boat moves with rotatingpropeller and steerable rudder. Hull (green and white) and deck (fauxwooden planks) are tin litho. Propeller and rudder are pressed steel.Engines are die cast metal. Figures are composition. Both figures arewired into their seat because they fall out and are easily damaged. Correct original box for No.44 dated 1936 by the company that producedthe box. Has it\'s original end label. Sealing tape which was opened ismarked \"electric\" because it was the same tape that would\'ve been usedto seal Lionel\'s electric trains. The boat is not electric and againthe box is correct. Best of all it works great!Size: 18\". Condition: Speedboat only. Excellent withjust light traces of wear where it was incorrectly handled on the sides(numbers have been rubbed). No dents, dings, or scratches. Theunderside of the hull does have edge chipping as well as the raisedkeel and propeller shaft. I\'ve stored it on the stand with a smallsheet of clear vinyl on the underside to prevent further chipping. I used a black light to see if anything had been repainted orreplaced. All eight of the white tabs which sit flat around the deckedges have been touched-up. The rest of the paint is all original. The figures are another story. Black light was inconclusive. In otherwords it was difficult to tell if they wereoriginal or not. But two composition drivers that haven\'t yellowedand are in almost perfect condition is too much of an indication for methat they\'re modern replacements. MTH reproduced Lionel\'sSpeedboat in 1989. Most likely this is where the figures originated.But the boat and the stand are all original. The key may also beoriginal. All of the times I\'ve seen this toy it\'s always had this typeof key.Overall I\'ve graded the speed boat as excellent and in great workingcondition. The box is complete with all endflaps and is still factory sealed alongone of the long panels. It was actually first opened upside-down so theend which is usually opened is still sealed. Box label is about 95%complete with a couple of knife cuts across the center. Edges andcorners show very little wear. No tears or cracks. However it is verydark from age and soiling. Grades VG+ to EXC.
