FIRE BOAT
This is solid wood floor toy made by the Jacrim Company of Boston in the 1930s under a division name of TOM THUMB TOYS. The "Fire Boat" has 2 sets of water guns and deck and looks very similar to Naval boat toys made at the same time with cannon and missiles on deck. The hull paint is original and the brass side rails are the same as used on the Seaworthy "Flying Yankee" spring powered speedboats. The twin smoke stacks are replacements, as is the short mast and spreader. At 16" long, this is a nice small boat to add to a collection of Jacrim boats. The maker's decal on the stern is in perfect condition.This is solid wood floor toy made by the Jacrim Company of Boston in the 1930s under a division name of TOM THUMB TOYS.
