Masudaya Vintage Neptune Tug Boat. All Actions Work Perfectly With Original Box

LUMWB = L IGHTLY U SED M ODEL W ITH B OX. I HAVE HAD THIS MODEL STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES! 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS TUG BOAT IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!

THE EXACT DATE THIS WAS MADE ELUDES ME, BUT IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE MID TO LATE 1970'S. THIS TUG BOAT HAS NEVER BEEN FLOATED! IN OTHER WORDS, IT HAS NEVER SEEN OR HAS NEVER BEEN PLACED INTO ANY BODY OF WATER AS IT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED ON THE FLOOR WITH IT'S MYSTERY DRIVE. THIS IS A LARGE TUG BOAT AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FUNCTIONS WORK AS DESIGNED.

YOU HAVE NO REPAIRS OR MYSTERIES HERE. IT IS MADE OF TIN AND HAS NICE TIN LITHOGRAPHY FOUND THROUGHOUT IT. YOU HAVE NO RUST CORROSION, DINGS, DENTS OR CREASES ON THIS TUG BOAT.

THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS BOAT IS AS CLOSE TO NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AS ONE COULD HOPE FOR. THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS SPOTLESS WITH NO ISSUES.

ALL OF THE BATTERY CONTACTS ARE CLEAN AND SHINY. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: OPEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND PLACE IN THREE (3) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). PLACE DOWN ON ANY LEVEL SURFACE. NOW POWER IT UP BY SWITCHING IT TO "ON". THIS SWITCH IS LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THIS BOAT.

INSTANTLY, THIS BOAT WILL TAKE RIGHT OFF..... AND IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

WHEN AN OBSTACLE IS STRUCK, THIS BOAT WILL VEER OFF TO ONE SIDE AND THEN STRAIGHTEN ITSELF OUT ONCE AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME, THE CABIN OF THIS BOAT IS SHIFTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO STIMULATE REAL "SEA ACTION" FROM THE WAVES. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE A GREAT WHISTLE WHICH BLOWS ABOUT EVERY 7-10 SECONDS FOR ABOUT A SECOND IN DURATION. ALL THE WHILE THE FRONT "FOG" LIGHT IS ON (IT'S RED). THE BOX IS IN ALRIGHT CONDITION.

YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL EIGHT (8) STAPLES HOLDING THE BASE SECURELY TOGETHER. YOU HAVE NO ADDED GLUE ANYWHERE ON THE BOX, BUT YOU DO HAVE A BUNCH OF ADDED TAPE.

IT DOES HAVE SOME BOX RASH, BUT THAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A VINTAGE BOX WITH SOME MILEAGE ON IT (AS IT WAS MOVED AROUND FROM TIME-TO-TIME). IT HAS ALSO FADED SOMEWHAT OVER THE DECADES. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSERTS (2 OF THEM) INCLUDED.

I WOULD ASK THAT YOU INSPECT ALL OF MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. IN ADDITION, THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A VITAL AND IMPORTANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION HEREOF. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE.

I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER MODERN TOYS "NEPTUNE" TUG BOAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS BABY DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX AND THE BOAT IS FULLY FUNCTIONING... NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF TIN, BATTERY OPERATED, ANTIQUE/VINTAGE JAPANESE/AMERICAN MODEL MARITIME COLLECTION! THIS VINTAGE TIN/METAL MODERN TOYS TUG BOAT IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL, OF AN ERA THAT HAS PASSED. A GOLD T/RATED POWERSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND.

I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. THIS MODERN TOYS TUG BOAT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-INS WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS.

THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU.... THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.

IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL. DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOU'RE IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP.
