Impressive Fleischmann Tin Windup Battleship in Gray and White *SOLD*

Impressive Tin Windup Fleischmann Battleship in Gray and White

This outstanding Fleischmann battleship is one to swoon for.  It sports countless guns and an impressive length of 65cm (26inch) and has 2 turrets in the hull on each side (so 4 turrets in the hull in total).

Its history floated it to Europe after auction and its previous purchase was $10,500 plus auction fees and commission. It would ship from The Netherlands to the next buyer.

“I am offering my Fleischmann battleship for sale. This impressive 26 inches long battleship appeared in the Fleischmann catalog of 1933.

This massive 26” Fleischmann battleship has a much smaller 21” version too. This 21” battleship is much more common (but still very rare). See added picture of a 26” and a 21” battleship to compare the lengths.

The paint of this boat looks really old (see detail pictures). This model has either been professional repainted a long time ago (probably before WWII) or the customer specifically requested these colors when ordering this boat at Fleischmann’s.

A previous owner paid about [$10,500]+[about 20% auction fees]+[19% custom charges]=$15,000 for this battleship in 2008 (s.a Bertoia Auction Nov.2008 No.1364).”

 

One slide shows the actual auction catalog for this toy and then toy catalog page.  Our asking is less than cost, as proceeds will go towards higher education, an immediate need.
