Vintage tinplate aeroplane

£40

Early 20th century

Dated

Full Description

This is a lovely decorative item - ideal for a man-cave or for an aeroplane enthusiast, but is equally suited as a desk top item


This item has all all the hallmarks of being a hand-made item, but I do not have any provenance to go with it, so please form your own judgement on this. Everything is metal.

The style is that of a 1920's sea plane, but I cannot find any photographs of anything like it, so I believe it is a stylised example rather than a copy of an actual make of aeroplane  

The photographs give a good indication of the item's condition. The only remedial work I have had to undertake was to attach one of the two tabs holding the rear wing/rudder in place. This is the weakest part of the plane given the small size of the tabs, but this is a decorative item not a toy so this shouldn't matter

The propeller rotates as do the wheels and tail fin
