Wooden steam-powered toy 'gunboat' by Radiguet, c. 1890
About the Item
Additional Notes: Radiguet (later Radiguet-Massiot) was one of the most celebrated French toy-boat makers. They specialized in scientific teaching aids and began making steam-powered toy boats in the 1880s. Although this remained a sideline, their toy boats are some of the most sought-after, characterized by their black and gold-painted hulls with wood and brass fittings.
