BOUCHER LIVE STEAM POLLY-WOG SPEED BOAT.

BOUCHER LIVE STEAM POLLY-WOG SPEED BOAT. A stunning all original Boucher speed boat that considering these were used in water, this boat is in remarkable original condition. A double cylinder outboard motor driven by steam propels this boat across the pond. Live steam motor is hidden on the underside of the aluminum decking and discreetly placed on top are three louvered vents for heat to escape. Emblazoned on both sides in gold letters “Polly-Wog” and finely printed within the dash “Boucher LaFayette St, New York”. Boucher was also well known for producing toy trains which are highly prized by train collectors today. On the underside of the boat is an aluminum rudder which can be adjusted for the boat to go straight or in a slow or tight circle. One would venture to say that due to the condition, this boat had very little travel time in the pond. This boat in 1929 was sold at a cost of $25. SIZE: Approx. 24″ l. CONDITION: Overall very fine plus. Some scraping to paint on underside of boat and slight paint wear to bottom edge on right and left side. 1-11777 (4,500-5,500)
