Love your paddle wheel boat! :icon_thumright: Looking forward to reading more info about it when posted. Did you buy it at an estate sale? Dig it up? :tongue3: If it were mine, I'd keep it permanently regardless of whether or not I discovered info about it's history.

A very old Polish-American friend of ours carefully created an exact and perfectly made miniature of a famed U.S. Naval boat. When his son sent photos of it to the Navy, they were amazed, so the elderly maker donated it to them. The Navy placed it in a place of honor where the public could see it. I realize yours isn't created to that standard, but I also think yours is wonderful! HAVE FUN! Andi
