RARE NOS FRICTION DRIVEN TIN LUFTHANSA JET PLANE WESTERN GERMANY, NEW IN BOX!

Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
UP A VERY RARE, VINTAGE, NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), TIN, FRICTION DRIVEN PLANE WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY BY A MAKER UNKNOWN TO ME ( I THINK THE MANUFACTURE MIGHT BE "CARAVELLE"). THIS IS THEIR MODEL/ITEM NUMBER:
56/L
AND HERE I ASSUME THE "L" STANDS FOR LUFTHANSA AS THIS BEAUTIFUL TIN PLANE IS IN THEIR MOTIF.
I HAVE A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF THESE (FOUR IN TOTAL) AND ALL ARE STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND ALL ARE TRULY NOS (NEW OLD STOCK)!
THESE TIN, FRICTION DRIVEN PLANES HAVE BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR DECADES NOW AND NONE OF THESE WERE EVER ON DISPLAY, PLAYED WITH, USED OR EVEN LOOKED AT! THEY HAVE BEEN STORED IN THEIR ORIGINAL FACTORY BOXES SINCE NEW.
ALTHOUGH NO SCALE IS SHOWN OR MENTIONED ON THE PACKAGING, THIS TIN LUFTHANSA JET IS ABOUT 9 INCHES LONG (23CM) WITH A WINGSPAN OF JUST UNDER 10 INCHES (25CM). IT IS MADE OUT OF TIN AND THE ONLY PARTS/SECTIONS NOT MADE OF TIN ARE THE THREE (3) TIRES AND THE DUAL REAR ENGINES.
I HAVE HAD THESE STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADE.
I JUST RECENTLY RE~DISCOVERED THESE IN WHAT WAS ONE OF MY "LOST" BOXES AND THESE WERE ONE OF THE MODELS CONTAINED WITHIN IT.
ALL OF THE PACKAGING IS ORIGINAL AND THESE HAVE SURVIVED SURPRISINGLY WELL.
ALL OF THE PLANES BODIES ARE IDENTICAL AND THAT IS TO SAY ... THEY ARE ALL TRUE NOS WITH NO PLAY WEAR, DENTS, DINGS, RUST, CORROSION, ECT. AT BEST YOU HAVE SOME TINY SIGNS OF MANUFACTURING TRACES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A LITTLE FRICTION WEAR HERE AND THERE. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT SPOT ANY OF THIS ON THE ONE PLANE THAT I TOOK THESE PICTURES OF, I HAVE TO BE SAFE AND TOSS IN THIS DISCLAIMER!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND KEY PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
THESE COME TO YOU IN AS PICTURED AND NO ASSEMBLY IS NEEDED OR REQUIRED!
THE FRICTION DRIVES ALL WORK FINE AND ALL OF WHEELS ARE MADE OF A HARD PLASTIC. THE REAR TWO (2) WHEELS ARE THE ONES CONNECTED TO THE FRICTION DRIVE. NONE OF THESE WHEELS HAVE ANY FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS OR DRY-ROT.
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE PLANES WERE MADE DECADES AGO AND THE QUALITY CONTROL THAT EXISTS TODAY DID NOT EXIST BACK THEN! SO EXPECT TO FIND SOME TRACES OF MANUFACTURING ON THEM.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, VINTAGE, TIN MODEL AND NOT A REPRODUCTION THEREOF!
YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS PLANE IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. NO INSTRUCTIONS EVER EXISTED SO PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ANY.
THIS OFFERING IS FOR ONLY ONE (1) OF THESE UNLESS MORE THEN ONE (1) IS PURCHASED.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THESE
VINTAGE TIN PLANES WILL BE TESTED ONCE MORE PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF TO YOU.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
