These steam-powered toy boats might look like antiques, but they're not!

Old-fashioned toys from Lehmans.com
Lehman's specializes in selling non-electric products, but even they were surprised to come across these. Brightly painted tin body and authentic look makes these boats not only a collector's item, but also a toy your kids will want to play with. Grandpa will enjoy it too as this type of toy has been popular since the 1920s.

How it works-Just fill the reservoir with water and the fuel pan with olive oil. Steam is generated when water is drawn into the pipes and hits the hot boiler inside the boat. Forward movement is caused by steam pulsing out of tubes under water at the rear of the boat.
