HERE I AM OFFERING MY VINTAGE, CLOCKWORK \"SCHUCO POLICE 3002\" BOAT WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN THE U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY. IT IS MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF AN EARLY PLASTIC COMPOSITE WHICH IS VERY HARD TO THE TOUCH AND FEEL. THIS MODEL 3002 IS STILL IN IT\'S ORIGINAL BOX AND HAS THE ORIGINAL STEERING WIRE (IN IT\'S ORIGINAL BAG/SLEEVE), THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL, THE ORIGINAL KEY STILL ATTACHED TO THE ORIGINAL FLOAT AND THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS.LUIOBWK+AA = LIGHTLY USED IN ORIGINAL BOX WITH KEY + ALL ACCESSORIES.I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO. I HAVE OWNED THIS CLOCKWORK BOAT FOR WELL OVER 5 DECADES NOW AND I HAVE DECIDED TO START SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE MODELS, TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS, ECT.....HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, COMPLETE AND FULLY WORKING SCHUCO 3002 BOAT IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!THIS IS THE ONLY SCHUCO \"POLICE 3002\" BOAT HERE ON E-BAY THAT IS 100% COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL ... WORLDWIDE! SO I GUESS ONE COULD CALL THIS RARE WITHOUT IT COMING BACK AT YOU! AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN FAIR TO GOOD CONDITION/SHAPE. THIS BOAT WAS GIFTED TO ME BY MY DAD, SO MANY YEARS AGO. AS I RECALL, THIS POLICE 3002 BOAT WAS NEVER USED! GROWING UP WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE AS OUR DAD WORKED FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC AND SPENT A LOT OF HIS TIME DOING OUTSIDE SALES. NOT JUST HERE IN THE STATES, BUT, ABROAD AS WELL. OVER THE YEARS HE GOT TO KNOW A BUNCH OF MANUFACTURES REPRESENTATIVES AND DID A LOT OF SHOWS WITH THESE FOLKS.THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE \"HOMECOMING\" GIFTS. MOST OF THE TIME THEY (MY PARENTS) PUT THESE AWAY TILL A SPECIAL OCCASION, LIKE A BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS AND THEN THEY DUG THROUGH THEIR STASH AND ASSIGNED NAMES TO CERTAIN PILES. THIS BOAT WAS ORIGINALLY MY ELDER BROTHERS!THE BOAT WAS AND STILL IS PRETTY COOL, BUT, WE WERE NOT TOO BIG ON BATHS AS WE HAD A REALLY NICE STAND UP SHOWER. THE BATH TUB WAS LOCATED ON THE TOP FLOOR AND IT WAS ALWAYS SLIGHTLY COLDER UP THERE.THE BOAT IS 100% COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL! HERE\'S WHAT YOU GET...THE HARD PLASTIC HULL WITH REMOVABLE DECK LID, THE REMOVABLE AND ORIGINAL \"LIGHT\". THIS DOES NOT LIGHT, NOR IS IT INTENDED TO, HERE IS WHERE YOU CONNECT THE STEERING CABLE INTO IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE BOAT. THIS COMES OFF AND THIS IS WHERE YOU WIND UP THE STRONG CLOCKWORK MOTOR FROM. YOU THEN PLACE THIS \"LIGHT\" BACK .... SOMETHING LIKE A PLUG AND THEN ATTACH THE SUPPLIED WIRE TO THIS END. THE FLAG, LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THIS BOAT HAS A COUPLE OF FUNCTIONS. THE FIRST IS TO HOLD THE PROPELLER FROM SPINNING WHEN YOUR WINDING UP THE CLOCKWORK MOTOR....... SORT OF LIKE A PARKING BRAKE. IF YOU PUSH IT AWAY FROM THE BOAT, IT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE PROPELLER INTO A STOPPED POSITION. WHEN YOU PULL THE FLAG TOWARDS THE BOAT, THIS WILL ALLOW THE PROPELLER TO START SPINNING FREELY. BY TURNING THE FLAG ALSO CONTROLS THE RUDDER. THIS IS KEY AS IN MOST OF THESE MODEL BOATS, THIS SECTION BREAKS OFF RENDERING THE \"STOP\" FUNCTION IN-OPERATIONAL!! WITH THIS BOAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS IT WORKS PERFECTLY AND HAS NO ISSUES!! THE SMALL BRASS RING IS STILL FOUND IN THE REAR OF THE BOAT. HERE YOU COULD ADD A WATER SKIER TO THE REAR OR ANOTHER SMALLER BOAT WHICH YOU COULD TOW, OR SIMPLY ANCHOR HER DOWN FOR THE DAY! THE DECK LID COMES OFF PRETTY EASILY (IT SNAPS INTO POSITION) AND REVEALS THE CLOCKWORK ENGINE. AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS ORIGINAL AND HAS NO RUST WHATSOEVER ON IT.... ANYWHERE! THE SECTION WHERE THE LIGHT ATTACHES IS DESIGNED TO SPIN FREELY AND DOES SO, SO YOU CAN CONTROL THE BOAT. NOT BY CONTROLLING THE RUDDER, BUT, BY PULLING IT AROUND!YOU ALSO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ORIGINAL LONG STEERING CABLE, IN IT\'S ORIGINAL PAPER BAG/SLEEVE. THESE ACCESSORIES ARE ORIGINAL AS IS THE SCHUCO KEY. THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING WIRE ARE PRISTINE, THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN USED AND IT SHOWS!! YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL FLOAT WHICH HAS THE ORIGINAL SCHUCO KEY ATTACHED TO IT. THIS IS DESIGNED SO IT CAN BE IN THE WATER WITH AS IT WILL ALWAYS BE FLOATING NEARBY YOU.... EASY TO FIND!YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED FOR THIS BOAT AS WELL!PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BOAT HAS NO SPYDER CRACKS, CRACKS OR REPAIRS .. IT IS AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS ONE COULD ASK FOR! THE ENTIRE CLEAR TOP LID SHOWS REALLY WELL AND IS SHOWCASE CONDITION/SHAPE AS IS THE HULL.THE BOX, AS I MENTIONED ABOVE DOES HAVE SOME TAPE PLACED ON THE INSIDE OF THE LARGER END FLAPS AND YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL TEARS ON SOME OF THE SEAMS AS WELL. YOU WILL ALSO NOTE THAT THIS BOX IS FOR EITHER THIS 3002 (RARE POLICE VERSION) OR THE 3003 (PLEASURE BOAT VERSION \"TELECO\") ... IT IS PRICED ON ONE OF THE END FLAPS, INDICATING THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT BOX FOR THIS VERY RARE \"POLICE 3002\" MODEL.I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF.
