Reeds “Floating Palace” Wooden River Paddle Boat Side-Wheeler Push/Pull Toy  

We have for you a wooden “Floating Palace” push/pull paddle boat side-wheeler toy manufactured by W. S. Reed Toy Co. of Loeminster, Massachusetts 

This paddle boat toy is paper-on-wood and very delicate. It retains part of the original paper label on the underside. The beam on the toy is supposed to move up and down as the wheels spin and while all of the rigging is still in there, we were unable to get much movement from the beam.  

For its age. this piece is in great all original condition with no restorations, repairs, or touch ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, and wear that are to be expected from age and play. This is approximately 24″ L. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.
