“WHITE FAWN” CLOCKWORK PADDLE WHEEL BOAT ATTRIBUTED TO HULL & STAFFORD. A fine early paddle wheel boat with extensive stenciling such as simulated windows, paddle wheel decorations and decorative design to cabin roof. Clockwork mechanism contained within the body of the boat and when wound and activated the boat would run along the carpet and by means of an adjustable trailer wheel it could run in various positions. Dual smoke stacks, pilot house with scalloped roof, working walking beam, American flag (replaced) and bow pole. Oftentimes, due to the nature of these toys, it is exceedingly difficult to find one in excellent condition. This particular example has some paint enhancement, but still a great opportunity for a collector. SIZE: 14″ l. PROVENANCE: Formerly from the collection of Barney Barenholtz (paper label on underside of boat), Collection of Malcolm Deisenroth, Jr. CONDITION: Some paint and stencil restoration. Clockwork mechanism works. 1-10157 (6,000-10,000)
