Antique model steam tug
 

I'm open to sensible offers on this. It's very old and everything besides the old paint is in good condition. It's a traditional planked vessel with still good timbers. I bought it around 5 years ago and have done nothing with it since. It was on display in a restaurant for about 10 years and before that in an antique shop window for many many years before. The only other history I have is from an old local guy is. As he can remember a wealthy gent who owned a Manor House used to sale it around his lake pulling a dinghy with him in it. How long ago I would not know, nor who or when it was built. Anyway the vessel is 47inches long, 13inches wide and 24inches from the keel to the top of the funnel. To carry it is a two man lift as it's very heavy. The boiler 8inches x 4inches looks absolutely great and whoever made it was a credit to them. The compound steam engine also looks like a superb feat of engineering. Everything is all still there and nothing I can see is missing. Telephone 07967 266405 if you like to view or send me a message and make an offer

If anyone could spin the last 5 photos for me it would be appreciated. I don't know how that has happened and it's not the first time when advertising. It maybe me, I don't know but the first 4 went ok, thanks

Just an update on the length, its actually 4ft 6inch which would be 54inches long

Bump, I'm open to sensible offers on this

Let's get it away for £800, I've been informed the engine in it is worth a grand and the boiler around £450. I just need it out of the way

A great Christmas present for someone who would appreciate it

Bump, come and look and bid and take it away. I have not got a dry place to keep it. It's a 1930,s build

Last chance, Any offers before it goes into Goodwins march auction,
