Item Description
5.5x6x3.5" tall tin litho toy w/built-in key. Marx, ©1940 Superman Inc. as noted on Superman's cape. This toy was issued w/three different colored planes, this has primarily red body w/yellow wings and silver tail fins while the other varieties are blue and gold. Plane is designed w/pilot figure and separate 3" tall figure of Superman is attached to the tail by metal rod. Toy is designed to travel forward a short distance before the Superman figure flips the plane over 360 degrees and then repeats this cycle. Toy worked when tested, but needed minor coaxing. Superman figure has some scattered aging and lt. wear from use w/notable fading to right side (red coloring of plane is slightly faded on that side as well) but other side retains full, rich color. Scattered tiny nicks/scratches. Fine example of this early and classic Superman toy. Danny Fuchs Collection.
