VINTAGE TIN OHIO ART CLOCKWORK COAST GUARD SEAPLANE FULLY WORKING WithORIGINAL BOX

  
SOME OF THESE THAT I WILL BE OFFERING I HAVE HAD SINCE NEW, OTHERS I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE DECADES. BELOW, I WILL DESCRIBE THE PICTURED PLANE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

ALL OF THESE PLANES THAT I WILL LIST IN THE COMING MONTHS HAVE BEEN TESTED BY ME AND AT THIS TIME, I WILL LIST ONLY THE VINTAGE PLANES THAT I MYSELF WOULD WANT TO OWN, COLLECT, DISPLAY AND CHERISH. IF IT'S LISTED BY ME, IT'S WORKING AS IT'S DESIGNED AND INTENDED TO RUN!

HERE IS A TIN, FRICTION DRIVEN THE OHIO ART CO. " SINGLE PROPELLER "COAST GUARD SEAPLANE THAT HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE NEW. THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING AS THIS WAS BROUGHT HOME BY MY DAD WELL OVER A HALF OF A CENTURY AGO. THIS IS OHIO ART'S MODEL NUMBER: 106.

I JUST LISTED THE SAME PLANE BUT WITH THE "HOT JOB SEAPLANE" MOTIF, THAT MODEL WAS/IS ALSO MODEL NUMBER: 106!! THE PLANE HAS A WINGSPAN OF AROUND 10 INCHES (25.5CM) AND IS APPROX 8 INCHES (20CM) LONG. THE FRICTION DRIVE WORKS WELL AND IS VERY STRONG AND POWERS THIS SINGLE PROPELLER SEA PLANE RATHER EASILY ALONG THE WATER. UNLIKE MANY OTHER PLANES OF THIS ERA WITH "SPINNING PROPELLERS", THIS PROPELLER DOES NOT HAVE A "FREE SPINNING" MODE WHICH MEANS THAT IF LITTLE FINGERS DID, JUST SO HAPPEN TO GET IN THE WAY, IT MIGHT DO A LITTLE DAMAGE TO THEM!

SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND!!!! BUT THEY CLAIM THESE TO BE MADE WITH "NO SHARP EDGES".

THE FINISH ON THIS PLANE IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. THE PAINT IS STILL SHINY AND BRIGHT. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, I CAN NOT EVEN LOCATE A SINGLE SCRATCH ON THIS PLANES TOP. YOU HAVE NO CREASES, RUST, CORROSION OR DAMAGE ON ANY OF THE TIN. THE ONLY AREA WITH ANY WEAR OR SIGNS OF USAGE (OR PLAY WEAR) WOULD/SHOULD BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PLANES PONTOONS. HOWEVER, HERE BOTH OF THESE PONTOONS ARE IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. THE TIN LITHOGRAPHY ON THIS "COAST GUARD" SEAPLANE IS STILL VERY SHARP AND EXTREMELY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLORS POP ON THIS SEAPLANE. "COAST GUARD SEAPLANE" AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), FOR IT IS NOT. HOWEVER IT IS FAR FROM EVER BEING ABUSED AND THIS WOULD MAKE ONE BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO ANY ONE'S PERSONAL COLLECTION.

THE BOX IS SOMETHING OF A RARITY AS WELL, THE WINDOW ON THIS BOX HAS BEEN REGLUED, BUT IT IS STILL A SIGHT TO SEE AS THESE BOXES ALWAYS FELL APART AS MOST FOLKES PLACED A WET SEAPLANE BACK INTO IT FOR STORAGE. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT SECTION OF THIS LISTING. WHAT YOU SEE HERE YOU WILL RECEIVE. THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTING/OFFERING BY ME AT THIS TIME, IF YOU'D LIKE SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK...... ALSO HERE I HAVE CREATED A SHORT VIDEO OF THIS COAST GUARD SEAPLANE IN ACTION, CHECK IT OUT.

UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD RUNINS WITH SOME UNSCRUPULOUS BUYERS WHO, BY THEIR VERY NATURE, DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS AND MAKE UP THE RULES AS THEY GO ALONG. SO PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR THIS ON YOUR END!

AS SUCH, YOU'LL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE "COAST GUARD SEAPLANE" THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! HERE I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS I WILL BE ADDING TO MY STORE HERE AND WILL BE LISTING A FEW ADDITIONAL VINTAGE, TIN AIRPLANES..... SO BE SURE TO CHECK ME OUT AGAIN AND OFTEN! I ALSO HAVE A BUNCH OF COOL VINTAGE ITEMS FROM SCHUCO, ALPS, BANDAI, TECHNOFIX AND OTHERS.
