Here is a new video !!
This is a Vintage powerboat toy made in France around 1950 by the french company JEP ( Le Jouet De Paris).
This little boat was very desired for kids back then.
It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted, the propeller was completely seized. I spent a few hours trying to unlock it...
Please watch till the end to see this antique power boat in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Thanks a lot for watching !

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!

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

@NeoMorphUK Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

This little boat brings back memories of a trip the family took to W Virginia in the mid 50"s. I had developed an abscessed tooth that needed to come out and the dentist couldn't use Novocain. You can imagine how I reacted to that. The dentist refused to accept payment telling my dad to buy a toy for me so he got me one of these. I soon forgot the pain. It's a memory I'm reluctant to remember.
