Barnacle Bill Rowboat Tin and Wood Wind up Works Near Mint. Here is an unusual toy rarely seen. Made by Emmert-Hammes USA. Barnacle Bill in his rowboat. Articulated tin and wood arms. Tin boat, oars and Bill himself. The toy is from the 30's I believe and is 9.5 inches long. The unusual part of this wind up is that it is driven by a rubber band. I don't think I have the proper rubber band to drive the toy but, he does work when wound tight. A stronger type band will do the trick since he does work well when I turn the drive ring on the back. The toy is near mint. Very light age wear. This same exact toy just sold at Marz auctions on 1/20/24 for $375 then you add the 20% Buyer's Premium/tax and shipping the final price is around $500. Mine is much cheaper. Scarce toy. Check out my vintage toy collection and advertising. Please ask any questions that you may have. Thank you, Dave
