lithographed enamel tin battery operated, motorized pond boat,
which is only missing its steering wheel and aft flag mast. It's no longer in working order or condition, with the inside of the vessel now moderately oxidized, with loose wires, missing battery pack and electric motor, once used to power the boat on small fresh water bodies such as ponds and lakes. The lithographed enamel tin surfaces have minor to moderate episodes of surface oxidation and the chrome electroplated components seem to have more rust than the lithographed enamel tin surfaces. The oxidation of the hull is mostly found at the boat's aft section on its deck. The windshield frame is also fairly oxidized. No doubt this vintage
