Item Description
24.5" long painted pressed steel airplane w/22.5" wide wingspan and tri-motor engine. Made by Steelcraft, 1929-1930. Toy has original shafts and rubber-ribbed grommets to operate three propellers, however spring cable is missing and as such propellers no longer spin as toy advances. Toy used long looping spring cable to get these to spin. Noisemaker gear is present, however the spring steel strip to produce noise is broken off. Back side has "US Mail Plane - Steelcraft" decal and tailfin has "NX131" tail number. Ends of wings have aviation star decals. Original orange paint on underside of wings, wheels and tail but has had brown paint applied on top side of wings. Plane's paint shows moderate scattered wear w/scattered traces of oxidation. Decals have heavy aging and scattered wear but are mostly complete. Good/VG overall.
