• Well, my yachts need a proper tender to lay the buoys for the regatta courses...
  
  So here my little putt-putter - maker unknown. Perhaps Germany, 1940s???

• A beautiful piece. However, I have no idea about the manufacturer.

• I wanted to see more...
  
  Deck and hull separated easily, very simple lay-out and design inside:

  You can see the little "slide-in" rest for the burner.
  
  Some cleaning, inside...

• Cleaned up nicely
  Hope we get to see a little movie of it "at sea", when you do the live test.

  Well, I usually have a bath once a year and as this year is approaching its end, there is a certain chance...

• Just to help you - I have an instruction "how to operate"
  underneath the boat house - sorry I have only a China clone
  but it is okay - just for fun  
  Arnold - wish you all the BEST and happy X-mas

• Thanks a lot, Arnold! Nice illustration - but I will stick to using a syringe...
  
  Your put-put is also made of rather thin sheet-metal (for obvious reasons!).  This makes my old tender quite extraordinary.
  
  Somebody has suggested Sutcliff (GB) as a possible maker, but I am doubtful...
