THIS VERY RARE BOAT WAS MADE IN JAPAN AROUND THE 1950\'S. THIS IS MADE OF WOOD AND HAS ALL ORIGINAL FINISH, THIS IS RUN BY 1 TMY ELECTRIC MOTOR THAT TAKES 6 D-SIZE BATTERIES, AND THE MOTOR RUNS WELL. THIS IS THE LARGER SIZE ROCKET BOAT MEASURING ABOUT 33\" LONG FROM THE TIP OF THE SILVER NOSE CONE, TO THE TIP OF THE LARGE TAIL FIN. THIS ALSO MEASURES ABOUT 10\" WIDE. THE LIGHT IN THE TAIL FIN STILL WORKS, BUT THE OTHER TWO ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BOAT DO NOT WORK, ONE BULB IS BROKEN (I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THIS) AND I COULD NOT GET THE OTHER BULB TO LIGHT. THIS IS MISSING THE WINDSHIELD,AND SOME DECORATIVE PIECE THAT WAS ONCE ON THE TOP NOSE SECTION, SO PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THAT.THE TAIL FIN HAS THE VERY TIP MISSING, WHICH MAYBE REPAIRED AND TOUCHED UP IF DESIRED. THE TAIL FIN ALSO HAS A PIECE OF WOOD BROKEN OFF ON THE UNDERNEATH BOTTOM FRONT THAT IS NOT SEEN WHEN THE TAIL FIN IS IN PLACE OVER THE BOAT. (I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THIS). THE FINISH HAS THE USUAL CHIPS, SCRATCHES AND MARKS, BUT OVERALL IS NICE FOR A BOAT THIS LARGE SIZE AND AGE. PLEASE LOOK OVER ALL THE PICTURES CAREFULLY AND TAKE NOTE OF THE ISSUES, AND EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WITH SOME CARE, THIS BOAT WOULD MAKE A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY PIECE. THE ROCKET BOAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST ADMIRED WOOD BOATS FROM JAPAN DURING THE 1950\'S. I HAVE OTHER TOYS LISTED AS WELL AND SOME MORE BOATS IN THE FUTURE THANK YOU
