    Good day, I have had this toy on here before. But after further research including speking with several experts I have been informed this toy maybe the only one known to exist. This has created quite a stir with collectors. This item could be priceless. Google "Santos Dumont" under images, you will see the Eiffel Tower with this same machine circumnavigating the Tower. Please enjoy the photos. My e-mail adress is mw0196@gmail.com, if you would like this toy actually work please shoot me a e-mail, and I will attach it.

    Sincerely,

    Mawhite

      I seen this particular toy at a showing in Michigan back in 2015. I spoke with one of the host about this toy, he stated that this toy could easily bring a high two to low three figure number. Reason is only 2 of these are know to still remain. The other is in Chicago somewhere. Its very exciting the owner had no idea. Very exciting such a wonderful piece, lucky person.
