VINTAGE HUBLEY CAST IRON RED STATIC BOAT with ORIGINAL DRIVER, MOTOR and STRING

Description

VINTAGE HUBLEY CAST IRON RED STATIC BOAT with ORIGINAL DRIVER, MOTOR and STRING.
Yet another great toy from my “PA TOYS OF TIMES PAST” collection. You won’t find one like this here anywhere especially with all the original pieces. This fine specimen came from the Hubley Mfg. Co. Lancaster, Pennsylvania - Circa 1930 Hubley speed boats are seldom found in such fantastic condition and this is certainly one of those examples. The red body with gold highlights of a seahorse on either side of the hull make the toy especially beautiful. Comes with the original pull string and ball. The motor also has its original Johnson decal. No breaks, cracks or repairs. The only thing I see wrong is the two rear tires are dry rotted and cracked. But why replace something that shows it’s age as a patina would to any antique. Not many of these come up here for sale and the price reflects that. So grab it now before it’s gone!
Any questions just ask. Thanks.
We ship with extreme care! Please see my feedback to see what people say about my packaging. Of course there is free local pick up and we can meet to assist if you are near Pennsylvania or driving through. We require signature confirmation on most items above 0, unless you request otherwise. Also, we have discounts with FedEx & eBay on shipping which do not always show up in eBay estimates on shipping. We try to refund what we can when there is a notable difference, but we do not know until we actually process the shipping order. Please follow our store if you love rare antiques, primitives and collectibles of many types. We scour the land for the rarest and neatest of items for our buyers who love them. We usually have about 150 items in various price ranges from to K+, but our inventory changes often. We sell to collectors, resellers but mostly to people who simply love rare and nifty items. It is our honor to offer these treasures to you.
Please note our feedback & Buy with confidence. We offer premium quality items and provide lots of pictures (we count on our detailed photos to assist with describing the treasure) to assist you. Our packing is top notch. We take care to get your new treasure safely home. Any questions just ask. Thanks. Condition is "Used".
DESCRIPTIONS:  I am a firm believer that pictures speak a thousand words.  I try to include a variety of brightly lit, clearly focused pictures from multiple angles in my listings.  The pictures are a key part of the description.  As a supplement to the pictures I also provide a reasonably detailed written description that discloses what I see, what I know and what I think.  Between the pictures description and written description, buyers should have a fair opportunity to understand what they are bidding on.  If there is something that you do not understand or if you need additional information or pictures please ask in advance of bidding rather than assume anything.
FEEDBACK POLICY: I have my automated system setup to leave positive feedback for a buyer after payment has been received and after I have received positive feedback from the buyer. I have it set up this way as I have no way of knowing if a transaction is complete until I receive positive feedback from you. If for ANY reason at all you feel that I deserve ANYTHING but positive feedback, please contact me PRIOR to leaving the feedback. I will do everything in my power to make sure the transaction is completed in a satisfactory way for you. Please do not leave something other than positive feedback and then contact me with the issue. With ebay's new feedback rules, neutral ratings come off a seller's feedback score in the same manner that negative feedbacks do. So, again, I ask for you to contact me with any issues prior to leaving feedback so I can make the transaction a positive experience for you. Thanks
