LIONEL ORIGINAL PREWAR TINPLATE No. 43 LIONEL CRAFT PLEASURE BOAT 1933-35. I got the clock work motor to run, replaced the gear on the shaft and added all new trim. Didn’t have the people or flag. One tag is broken and there is a dent in the front right corner. Motor runs and spins the impeller see video. After fixing every thing I left the tabs up right and not bent down, in case want to take deck off.

This is a very rare and very cool antique / vintage Lionel Craft 44 Speedboat. It is a wind up and comes with what appears to be its original winding key.
