VINTAGE CENTURY BOAT DELUXE WHIT-KUM STEERING WHEEL

Description

HERE IS A VERY RARE EARLY1950'S VINTAGE CENTURY BOAT STEERING WHEEL. THIS WAS MADE BY THE TOP END WHIT-KUM MARINE BOAT ACCESORIES FACTORY OF SPRINGFIELD, MASS. THIS WHEEL WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR THE CENTURY BOAT COMPANY AND IS SO "FACTORY ENGRAVED",AND IS A MUST FOR A RESTORATION PROJECT. THE WORD CENTURY IS ENGRAVED ON THE DASH MOUNT PLATE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAN BE SEEN ON ENLARGING TWO OF THE PICTURES, MY SPECIFIC PICTURE FOR THAT AREA DID NOT COME UP??.THIS WHEEL IS 3 SPOKE AND 15 INCHES IN DIAMETER COMPLETE WITH SHAFTS AND ROPE DRUMS AND DASH SUPPORT BRACING AND ORIGINAL CENTER PLATE WITH THE WHIT-KUM GRAPHICS.THE WHEEL WAS ORIGINALLYCREME IN COLORAND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A FEW VERY SMALL LINE STRESS CRACKS WHERE THE CENTER SPOKES MEET THE WHEEL WHICH IS NORMAL, BUT THEY ARE USUALLY LARGE CRACKS.LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PHOGRAPHS PROVIDED, BUT THEY MIGHT NOT BE VISABLE. THE PAINT IS ORIGINAL, BUT PEELING, SO I LEFT THAT ALONE AS THE NEW OWNER MIGHT WISH TO PAINT IT A DIFFERENT COLOR LIKE RED, BLUE, BLACK OR WHATEVER HIS WISH, OR JUST DO THE ORIGINAL CREME COLOR. WHEEL WILL BE TAKEN APART AND SENT IN A WELL PADDED BOX. SOLD AS-IS AND PLEASE ALLOW $15.00 PACKING, SHIPPING AND INSURANCE UPS GROUND. GOOD LUCK BIDDING. I ALSO INCLUDE A BUY IT NOW PRICE FOR THE "MUST HAVE",DISCRIMINATING BUYER. PAY PAL ALSO AVAILABLE AND LOCAL PICKUP SAVES YOU $15.
