Not sure of the year on this one, found in a closed five & dime store I was fortunate enough to get into and rummage around in before the building was torn down.
Made by Hasbro, may be late 50's early 60's. Body is 12 inch, main wingspan is 17 inch. This one is NOS. Appreciate any info on this.
That particular store had thousands of NOS items in it, pop-pop boats, tin cars, wood sail boats, etc all still shelved. It literally looked like somebody closed up at the end of the day and never went back. The store rooms had cases upon cases of brand new stock from the 50's/60's...obvious items missing were the trading cards.
I picked up the bubble-jet and several Donald Duck swim fins/masks along with several other pieces. A few weeks later the building was razed for road construction and I assume that all that stuff was still inside. It was fun spending the better part of a weekend there. Cheers!
Back up the semi and load it up!
The ultimate in scavenging,
Good story.
