Based on my research I believe this
Tin Toy was produced in the 1940's or earlier.
There appears to be TWO versions of this toy.
The more common version has one deck gun and
one gun turret forward with two gun turrets aft.
This version has TWO gun turrets forward
and TWO gun turrets aft.
If you wind the key, in the stack, clockwise,
and raise the aft upper guns the propeller
rotates. The rudder can be turned manually.
(See video for propeller operation)
Ships from smoke free environment.
Combined shipping for multiple items.
