SCHUCO NOS LARGE CLOCKWORK TIN NAUTICO 3001 BOAT. NEVER REMOVED FROM IT'S BOX!

Description

WELL ..... TILL THESE PICTURES THAT IS!
HERE I AM OFFERING UP A VINTAGE, SCHUCO, CLOCKWORK "NAUTICO 3001" SPEED BOAT. THIS SCHUCO NAUTICO 3001 IS A LARGE, 18 INCHES 46CM IN LENGTH, TIN CLOCKWORK BOAT.
I HAVE DECIDED TO LIQUIDATE SOME OF MY VARIOUS VINTAGE ITEMS, TO INCLUDE SOME OF MY SCHUCO, TECHNOFIX, CRAGSTAN, BANDAI, ALPS, MARX, ETC MODELS/TOYS.
I STARTED OFF FOCUSING ON MY PORSCHE MODELS, BUT, SOON REALIZED THAT I HAD SO MUCH MORE STASHED AWAY! MY DAD WAS A SALES REPRESENTATIVE FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC BACK IN THE 50'S THROUGH THE EARLY 90'S. AS SUCH HE WAS ENTRUSTED TO DO A LOT OF TABLE TOP SHOWS AND WORK CLOSELY WITH THE MANUFACTURERS OF SOME OF THESE ITEMS THAT I HAVE SQUIRRELED AWAY OVER THE DECADES. THE MANUFACTURERS HE DID NOT REPRESENT, HE ALWAYS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BARTERED WITH THEIR SALESMEN AT VARIOUS SHOWS/EXHIBITS!
COMING FROM A FAMILY OF SIX (6) IT WAS ONLY NATURAL FOR MY DAD TO BE A 365 DAY A YEAR SANTA CLAUS! HE NEVER ... NEVER CAME HOME WITHOUT HIS STATION WAGON FILLED UP WITH GOODIES!
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND MY PASSION WITH THESE ITEMS THAT I OFFER HERE! EVERYTHING I LIST IS FULLY TESTED AND THOROUGHLY INSPECTED. YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM ME THAT IS NOT ONLY AS DESCRIBED, BUT BETTER! IN ALL HONESTY, IF IT DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD, YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT LISTED BY ME!  OK ... ENOUGH ABOUT ME AND WHAT I DO.......
ONCE AGAIN, THIS SCHUCO NAUTICO 3001 BOAT HAS NEVER BEEN WOUND UP.  FRANKLY, IF IT HAS BEEN WOUND UP, CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SOME INTERNAL GEAR ISSUES. WHY? THIS 3001 BOAT HAS AN OIL RESERVOIR WHICH REQUIRES THAT YOU FIRST FILL UP THIS THIS RESERVOIR WITH 10-30W OIL!  LOL, I AM PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON ON EBAY THAT KNOWS THIS SIMPLE, BUT, IMPORTANT FACT!! SO IF ANYONE SAIDS THAT THEY TESTED THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE IN THEIR 3001 NAUTICO BOAT .... BE LEARY... VERY LEARY!
AS I RECALL, THIS BOAT AND THE ONES THAT I HAVE LIKE IT, WERE THE LAST TOYS WHICH MY DAD BROUGHT HOME PRIOR TO RETIRING AND SELLING OFF HIS INTEREST IN THE BUSINESS.
THIS NAUTICO 3001 HAS SAT IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX SINCE BEING MADE. AGAIN, IN ALL HONESTY, I CAN NOT FIND ANY HALLMARKS WHICH WOULD SHOW WHERE THIS 3001 WAS MADE. I DO KNOW THAT IN THE '90'S SCHUCO HAD CHINA MAKE SOME OF THEIR GOODS AS AT THAT TIME (AS IT IS TODAY), IT WAS FAR LESS COSTLY TO HAVE SOME OF THEIR ITEMS IMPORTED RATHER THEN MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY.
EVERYTHING THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED INTO THIS BOX WHEN MANUFACTURED IS STILL HERE. YOU HAVE BOTH LONG SHANK SCHUCO NUMBER 3 KEYS (IN CHROME), THE EPOXY RESIN DRIVERS (HAND PAINTED), A USA AND A GERMAN FLAG AND A VERY NICE DISPLAY STAND WHICH YOU CAN PROUDLY DISPLAY THIS 3001 ON (COLOR CODED TO MATCH THE BOAT), A NICE STYROFOAM PROTECTIVE INSERT AND THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS (PRINTED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GERMAN).
IF YOU DO PLAN ON TESTING OR USING THIS BOAT, YOU FIRST
MUST
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DO NOT WIND IT UP TILL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. IF YOU DO NOT, YOU COULD CAUSE (AND MOST LIKELY WILL) CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL WORKINGS.
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS INCLUDED AND IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. YOU DO HAVE SOME SLIGHT SCUFF MARKS AND SOME SHELF RASH FROM DECADES OF STORAGE. IT IS STILL STRONGLY PUT TOGETHER, NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS EVER BEEN ADDED. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, THE GRAPHICS ARE OLD AND PRETTY BASIC, BUT STILL CLEAR AND COLORFUL. THIS BOX DOES DISPLAY VERY NICELY WITH THIS BOAT (AS PICTURED IN MY FIRST PICTURE).
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT SECTION OF THIS LISTING AND DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS HERE..... WHAT YOU SEE HERE YOU WILL RECEIVE ME AS I AM ONLY SELLING ONE (1) OF THESE FROM MY COLLECTION.  IF YOU'D LIKE SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK......
THIS SCHUCO NAUTICO 3001 BOAT WILL BE SENT TO YOU DOMESTICALLY VIA UPS AND WILL, OF COURSE, BE FULLY INSURED. THE TRACKING NUMBER WILL BE PLACED INTO BOTH EBAY AND PAYPAL'S (IF USED) RECORDS BY THE DAYS END ON THE DAY THAT I CREATE IT'S SHIPPING LABEL.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, THIS WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM" (GSP) AS THIS METHOD OF INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING DOES HAVE SOME PROTECTION BUILT INTO IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-INS WITH SOME UNSCRUPULOUS BUYERS FROM FAR AWAY LANDS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS! THIS METHOD OF SHIPPING DOES HAVE CERTAIN ADVANTAGES FOR "WE THE SELLERS".

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAXES, DUTIES, IMPORT FEES OR ASSESSMENTS WHICH CAN AND MIGHT BE LEVIED OR ACCESSED FROM ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT AT THE TIME OF, OR PRIOR TO, THE DELIVERY HERE OF.  SO PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR THIS ON YOUR END!
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON EBAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. 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 WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION!
