I'll bet that no one had a little boat with a candle in the middle that
turned water into steam, put-putted like a V-1 reaction motor, and sailed
around the bathtub. Sometimes wondered if a people-sized boat like that
would work.

Wow, what a trip back in time!
I seem to recall mine being yellow with green trim. Strange, as over the
years that's one toy I explicitly recall as a Christmas gift.

Never get that past the regulators today.
I had one of those, and my sister did too. Think they were made by Marx.
Also had a little wind up model railroad set with the spark feature.
Some visiting twerp thought my tractor was too slow and shoved it so hard
he stripped out the speed regulating gears. Turned it from a
crawler/tractor that would run minutes on a winding into a dragster that
went the same distance in a couple of seconds.
Sis had a green one like this:

Mine was silver:

Both of the ebay ones are missing the tracks and the exhaust stack.
