Description: 19th Century Steam Battleship 1:200 Made in the 19th-century toymaker Radiguet style, this analog steam-driven toy battleship is a throwback to French toy makers of the late 1800s. Made from traditional and modern materials, the focus of the design and creation of this toy battleship was to highlight the joy of the analog nature of the vintage steam toys that generations of the past so coveted. With a fully functioning brass steam engine, a clean, burning fuel tablet heats the boiler of distilled water as the engine begins to spin the propeller. With just a simple set of the manual tiller, this wonderfully nostalgic steam battleship begins to chug along across the open water. The paint line illustrates the water level, showing the ship's perfect balance for optimal water displacement, while tiny soldiers command the wooden deck with solid brass fittings. Accompanying the battleship is a handmade chest and music box containing the leather-bound manual, fuel, and oils needed to operate the ship.Ran one time for testing purposes...Created by the national award-winning artist AJ Wasmer.Offers welcome...AJ
