Keystone? Miss America Clockwork Wooden Boat

Description

I believe that this great vintage boat was made by Keystone in the 1930’s, but have no reason other than a hunch to prove the maker.  The overall length is 18″ and the be am is 3 3/4″. It’s powered by a strong clockwork motor that works very well. The hull and deck were created from one piece of wood and the cabin is a separate piece. There is some wear as can be expected from a nearly 100 year old wooden toy. The deck paint has some alligatoring and there is minor wear to the varnished surfaced. The toy still retains the window and Miss America decals which show some chipping an swear. To top it off, the original felt Miss America bow flag is still present.
