Great job! I like that although you always totally strip off the old finish, these toys still have their "old" classic look when you've finished them. I guess getting the paint colours & logos correct is important. That boat motor makes a cool noise too!
Oh and the old clockwork motors were pretty quiet. Only way you knew when it had run down was when the nose of the boat dipped slightly as it lost propulsion. The one bad design was that you had to hold the propeller while winding it up… and those metal propellers got up to speed FAST. I cut the palm of my hand when trying to wind it up as high as possible. Was like shoving your hand into a mincer. That was the comet boat I’m talking about… this one was similar though and the identical yellow colour… so maybe same maker?
I am 75 years old. When my family would go on vacation in the 1950s to Ocean City, Maryland, USA, I would buy one of these to take home and play with in our bathtub. They were sold in shops along the boardwalk. I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer, but I believe they were made in Japan. Thanks for the memories.
All of these old toys were designed, and constructed without computer aided design. This is a work of a true artisan. Kudos for bringing it back to life again.
A lost art, but you have revived it . It is too bad that toys aren't made this way any more, kids today are really missing what fun these toys were, no plastic ,just craftsmanship, that gave not just hours of play but years. Thankyou.
That was great. I had a bunch of those boats as a kid spending summers at Greenwood Lake. All my little boats ended up rusting away from neglect. Underwater photography was excellent!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while I now, and this one made me smile from ear to ear at the end! It made me happy to see the boat in the pool and I felt like a kid again, enjoying the beauty of the toy. Thank you!
Très belle restauration ! Dès le début, on a envie d'aller voir le résultat final... C'est une réussite ! Quel plaisir d'assister à la création des petits "clapets". Tout ça est très bien filmé. Se sont vos enfants qui doivent être contents !!! Merci et bravo !
I'm 60 now and can remember some of these baby's still new on the shelf... !!! Your Work is Fantastic !!!!!!! Really impressed by the tab replacement technique...

So nice! These old toys have so much more quality than modern ones. And after you restore them, they’re probably even better than they were when they were new. Great work!
Un trabajo fantástico, seguramente mejor que el original. Mucho oficio y conocimiento de los elementos que se deben utilizar. Maestro restaurador. Mucha paciencia y exquisitos detalles. Saludos desde Argentina.
I won one of these boats in a kids competition at Herne Bay, England, more years ago than I care to remember, you bought back happy memories, great job!
Perfect!!! Absolutely wonderful. I'm a professional model ship maker, 28 years fulltime and this is such a sweetheart of a toy boat. I build from wood, plastic and fiberglass, I must find a metal toy and give this a try. I like the playing cards as a spreader, nice. You actually made the boat better than new by simply removing the original mold seamline on the gentleman driving the boat. The choice of colors, perfect! Wonderful work Sir, thank you, what a joy. Oh, one more thing, I wonder how long the spring coil (?) has been waiting to un-whine?
This came out great. Love the paint job too. You do some cool stuff. I would have loved this as a kid and would have played with it for hours. So darn cool.
Fabuleux, comme d'habitude, Fab. Toujours des prises de vue inattendues (le bateau d'en dessous dans l'eau, par exemple). En plus, petit j'avais ce même bateau, vers 1960. Nous étions à Londres alors. Merci encore. Tom (de Clessé 71)

That old paint is probably lead based too. Not exactly child safe on a child’s toy.

@@NeoMorphUK oh please. Unless a child gnaws all that old paint off, he will be fine. Stop worrying so much.

Thank you so much Robert 😌🙏 I’m so glad to bring the memories back 🙌
เยี่ยมยอดครับ..เห็นแล้วคิดถึงของเล่นเรือสังกะสีที่พ่อซื้อให้..และเรือที่ใช้เทียนใส่ฝาเครื่องดื่มมีไส้จุดต้มน้ำเสียงดัง ป้อก แป็กดูดน้ำเย็น และผลักน้ำร้อนออกจากท่อ..ชอบการอนุรักษ์ของเล่นเก่าครับ..
That candle using boat is pop-pop boat. There is dozens of videos of people showing how to make one.

I bow down to people who can still work with their hands! Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer of you.

Супер) какие классные игрушки у вас были в 59-х годах, не то что у нас в Советском Союзе.
Потрясающе, я помню такую игрушку в детстве, правда у меня такой никогда не было.
Non si può commentare c'è solo da rimanere a bocca aperta e stupirsi per il superbo lavoro fatto.
Grazie mólto !

Rescue & Restore
@@leaningr ty…..have added it to my viewing. Watched a couple. He only posted now and then however
@@davidaldrich3488 He posts his in-depth videos on TH-cam he posts somewhere else also but I’m not sure where
Great work restoring. Love it bringing back the past. The only 2 changes i would have made is the propeller and key would be brass or gold color.
You did a really good job you are an artist 😏😏
Thank you so much 🙏

Oh Thomas merci beaucoup. Toujours emouvant de raviver les souvenirs 😌👍🏻
В СССР очень похожий катер был. Тоже ключом заводился.
Beautiful. No short cuts here.
Glad you liked it!
I had a Comet when I was a kid in the 60’s. I used to use it in the town park’s paddling pool. God knows what it would be worth now.
What a fun toy! Beautifully done. I like the dashing pilot with moustache and side burns! 😊
Thanks a lot ! 😌🙌
God what a beautiful job 👏
Thank you so much😀
i am of the generation of old tin toys, and to watch this was truly brilliant
Thanks a lot ! Glad you enjoyed 🙌
Kudos to you for NOT powder coating this vintage model. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
