YONEZAWA TIN, BATTERY OPERATED, SHORE PATROL BOAT WITH TRAILER FULLY WORKING!

Description

HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE VINTAGE, TIN, YONEZAWA, BATTERY OPERATED SHORE PATROL NO. 9100 BOAT WITH A VINTAGE, TIN, COLOR CODED BOAT TRAILER .... HEREAFTER I WILL JUST REFER TO THIS AS A "SET-UP".
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO
5
DECADES! THIS RARE SET-UP
WAS PURCHASED
FROM A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAD AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF JAPANESE TIN CARS BACK IN THE MID 1980'S. IT HAS BEEN IN DRY STORAGE EVER SINCE COMING HOME WITH ME!
HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE YONEZAWA SET-UP IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS SET-UP HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR WELL OVER 2 DECADES NOW AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS WHICH I KEPT IN MY OFFICE, A TOP ONE OF MY FILE CABINETS WITH THE HOPE THAT SEEING THIS CONSTANTLY WILL REMIND "TO SEARCH OUT WHAT IT IS WHICH I AM MISSING" TO COMPLETE IT. WELL AS OF THIS DAY, I HAVE THROWN IN THE TOWEL! IN FACT, THIS SET-UP MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN COME WITH A TRUCK OR CAR. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR IT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, BUT HAVE COME UP SHOOTING BLANKS.
EVEN IF IT IS NOT A COMPLETE SET-UP, AS IT STANDS IT'S PRETTY COOL AND IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH IMAGINATION TO FIND A TRANSPORT VEHICLE OF A MATCHING SIZE AND/OR COLOR TO MAKE THIS EVEN A BETTER AND COMPLETE SET-UP! BUT, NOW I RESIGN THAT TASK TO YOU (OR WHO EVER CARES TO CONTINUE THE SEARCH).
SO HERE WE HAVE A FULLY OPERATIONAL, BATTERY POWERED YONEZAWA "SHORE PATROL 9100 BOAT" MADE FULLY OUT OF TIN WITH NICE AND COLORFUL TIN LITHOGRAPHY FOUND THROUGHOUT IT.  YOU HAVE NO RUST OR CORROSION ON THIS BOAT
AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER FLOATED IT, IT WAS IN WATER AT SOME POINT IN IT'S LIFE. IT'S ALL ORIGINAL TO INCLUDE BOTH MACHINE GUNS AND THE CLEAR TRANSPARENT MOTOR COVER.
A SINGLE SIZE "C" BATTERY (NOT INCLUDED) IS ALL IT TAKES TO POWER IT UP AND GET IT ON IT'S WAY. THE RUDDER DOES ALLOW THE BOAT TO BE STEERED.
THE TRAILER HAS A SINGLE HOLE FOR IT'S CONNECTION AND IS MADE OUT OF TIN, EXCEPT FOR THE TWO (2) PLASTIC TIRES. I ADDED THE WHITE ELASTIC STRING AND WOOD TOGGLE BOLT WHICH WILL AND DOES HOLD THE BOAT SECURELY TO THE TRAILER.
YOU HAVE NO RUST OR CORROSION ON THE TRAILER AND NO FLAT SPOTS OR DRY ROT ON THE TIRES.
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS YONEZAWA
SET-UP
IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT 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!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!

EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAVE PASSED US BY.
