PICKED THIS UP TODAY AT AUCTION. NO MAKERS MARKS ANYWHERE. OVERALL LENGTH 61/4 INCHES WITH A 91/2 WING SPAN. GOOD CONDITION BODY WISE THOUGH IT NEEDS WHEELS (WOOD)AND THE AXLE REPLACED. JUST CAUGHT MY EYE AND I CAN'T KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT AT AN AUCTION. ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS AS TO MAKER AND ERA?
Mayday, mayday........ I'm having mechanical problems, call out all emergency personnel :-)
It's goin to be a rough landing, Wonder what Sky King would do?
I think it's going to be okay MacGyver is on board & he has a paper clip.
Oh well! , relax enjoy the view and please...tell your friends.LOL
Hi, Your aircraft carrier type folding wing airplane was made by All Metal Products Company better known as Wyandotte, which was where the company was based in Michigan. It is pre-war and you can find a few other models of similar vintage here on CW that have been posted in the past.
THANKS fourpeepsake the info is appreciated
I love these Wyandotte aircraft. I'd love to get a few more some day, but I'm too busy buying tanks! Nice one!
P.S. I'd keep the original axle and wheels if remotely possible. Give everything a nice oiling and a gentle cleaning (you want to stop the orange, active rust if there is any).
Always glad to be of assistance. Here is a link to one I came across online.
