1950's Rusty Power Boat - JEP 3 - Restoration

[@gaugeonesteam]

Great job! I like that although you always totally strip off the old finish, these toys still have their "old" classic look when you've finished them. I guess getting the paint colours & logos correct is important. That boat motor makes a cool noise too!

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot ! Glad you enjoyed ! 😊

[@NeoMorphUK]

That old paint is probably lead based too. Not exactly child safe on a child’s toy.

[@NeoMorphUK]

Oh and the old clockwork motors were pretty quiet. Only way you knew when it had run down was when the nose of the boat dipped slightly as it lost propulsion. The one bad design was that you had to hold the propeller while winding it up… and those metal propellers got up to speed FAST. I cut the palm of my hand when trying to wind it up as high as possible. Was like shoving your hand into a mincer. That was the comet boat I’m talking about… this one was similar though and the identical yellow colour… so maybe same maker?

@@NeoMorphUK oh please. Unless a child gnaws all that old paint off, he will be fine. Stop worrying so much.

I am 75 years old. When my family would go on vacation in the 1950s to Ocean City, Maryland, USA, I would buy one of these to take home and play with in our bathtub. They were sold in shops along the boardwalk. I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer, but I believe they were made in Japan. Thanks for the memories.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you so much Robert 😌🙏 I’m so glad to bring the memories back 🙌

[@4Tugboats]

All of these old toys were designed, and constructed without computer aided design. This is a work of a true artisan. Kudos for bringing it back to life again.

[@pfadiva]

I love this. Seems like JEP made some cool toys back in the day. Great job restoring it to its former glory.

[@TheFabrik]

Toys that can cross the ages 👍 Glad you enjoyed !

[@arthurscott4467]

A lost art, but you have revived it . It is too bad that toys aren't made this way any more, kids today are really missing what fun these toys were, no plastic ,just craftsmanship, that gave not just hours of play but years. Thankyou.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot. I agree with you. Glad this video brings back good memories.

[@karansena]

Looking at the quality and build I was in wow. Plus your restoration was also amazing

[@srazunalevo5788]

I bow down to people who can still work with their hands! Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer of you.

[@harryschaefer8563]

That was great. I had a bunch of those boats as a kid spending summers at Greenwood Lake. All my little boats ended up rusting away from neglect. Underwater photography was excellent!

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot ! Glad it brings back good memories ! I'm sorry for your boats 🤷‍♂️

[@pitekpatek]

Wow! Asmr asmr asmr❤❤❤😊💯

[@cscsamsung9749]

เยี่ยมยอดครับ..เห็นแล้วคิดถึงของเล่นเรือสังกะสีที่พ่อซื้อให้..และเรือที่ใช้เทียนใส่ฝาเครื่องดื่มมีไส้จุดต้มน้ำเสียงดัง ป้อก แป็กดูดน้ำเย็น และผลักน้ำร้อนออกจากท่อ..ชอบการอนุรักษ์ของเล่นเก่าครับ..

[@vectionnoitcev2836]

This little boat brings back memories of a trip the family took to W Virginia in the mid 50"s. I had developed an abscessed tooth that needed to come out and the dentist couldn't use Novocain. You can imagine how I reacted to that. The dentist refused to accept payment telling my dad to buy a toy for me so he got me one of these. I soon forgot the pain. It's a memory I'm reluctant to remember.
