Bliss Wooden Pirate Ship Antique Toy *SOLD*

Bliss Wooden Pirate Ship Antique Toy For Sale

This is quite an unusual ship in the antique toy world.  It was made by Bliss toys circa 1895 and called the “Pirate”.  It comes with a cannon in the bow.

The toy is large, at over 18″ with very good original lithography and great cannons.  The torpedo like front cannon handle was replaced.   Then the mast was replaced along with the front wooden V-shaped cabin above deck.  Otherwise this is a an original toy.

It comes with its oft-lost wheels and original smoke stacks.  One replacement torpedo is included.

Kids would lift the rectangular aft cabin roof and then put in a torpedo.  Think of chambering a bullet in a gun.  The lever is then pulled back and the torpedo drops into the chamber and barrel end.  Fire away!

We have also included miniature sailors that are period correct and made of lead.  The scale and look complements the toy well.
