Vintage Eldon 1967 Coast Guard Cutter Incomplete -Unbroken Propeller! Working!
This vintage Eldon 1967 Coast Guard Cutter is in working condition and displays nicely! The boat is 20 and 1/2 inches long by about 5 inches wide. It is incomplete and has some small areas of discoloration and damage. Most notably, the hull has some discoloration where it meets the blue deck section. The majority of the discoloration is on the stern. The hull has no holes and appears to be watertight. The rare propeller is still in place and is completely unbroken. The boat is missing the original rudder. Most of the deck equipment is still in place with the exception of the port side winch. The bow gun is mint. The captain figure on the bow appears to be glued in place. The sailor on the bridge is completely intact and unglued. An additional sailor should be on the stern but is broken off just above his ankles. The hull number label is still in place on the starboard side of the bow but has a bit of peeling and discoloration at the front. The rare Coast Guard label on the funnel is still in place with just a small amount of playwear. The interior is fairly clean and all of the electronics are in place. I cleaned all of the electronic contacts for the batteries and the wires and the motor works! The switch works perfectly and the little propeller turns super fast! The switch handle is still in place and has no cracks or stress marks along its length. These are getting harder and harder to find in working condition. This particular model is rare and usually missing the gun. This little Coast Guard Cutter has its rare gun and works perfectly! It is a nice example and it will display beautifully!
