I received another box of wooden Keystone replacement parts from Jerry Tompkins widow today. This is the remainder of the wooden parts that Jerry had made. Jerry’s collection is boxed and will be going to auction in the spring. I hope to pick up a few key pieces to add to my collection. But first I need to get a few boats from Bob Jones. I am not sure what I am going to do with all of these replacement parts but have considered reviving Jerry’s parts business. I know a quality woodworker locally that could recreate the parts. What would be the interest in replacement parts? I would intent to discretely mark them as replacements so a keystone ship could not be passed off as complete and original.
Hello Greg
I have a 1950’s Keystone wooden pond boat with 21 1/2 LOA Looks to probably had a bow sprit with 2 jibs. I am looking for the rudder, tiller/ wheel, I can probably fabricate the rest from photos that I have found. any parts that you might have, let me know
Thank you in advance for your response

Hello Derrick
I am in need for the following parts for a Keystone pond boat. It has a 21 1/2″ LOA and a 4 3/4″ beam. Parts needed, rudder, rudder shaft, tiller / helm wheel,
sails, mast and spars. (those I can make as with the sails, however, originals are always nice to have.) any chance you have any of these parts?
Thank you in advance for your response
Bob
