My Real German U-boat U-29

Even without the box this piece is fetching a couple hundred quid in the collectors market, very nice to own

Very nice Jody!
Although I do not collect, I have a soft spot for quality made wind up toys.
I do have a wind up Formula 1 car made by Schuco that I got in a trade for some restoration work.

Very nice.
The wife and I are always going to antique shows and
it amazes me what the old tin toys sell for.
Especially military related ones.

Hello,
Thank you guys. Yes, these toys bring a great amount and I have been offered a large sum for it, but I passed. What helps make this one so special is that it still has the key and the motor works (the paint is great with the eagle and swastika and no rust). One was sold recently her in town with a non working motor, no key, and a damaged rudder and got he $600 for it.

My little U-boat goes great with my other Kriegsmarine items.
