VINTAGE TIN OHIO ART CLOCKWORK HOT JOB SEA PLANE 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 "HOT JOB SEA PLANE 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 "COAST GUARD" MOTIF, THAT MODEL WAS/IS ALSO MODEL NUMBER: 106!! THE PLANE HAS A WING SPAN 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!!!! 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 BE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PLANES PONTOONS. BOTH OF THESE PONTOONS ARE NOT IN BAD SHAPE/CONDITION, BUT COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE PLANE, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!

THE TIN LITHOGRAPHY ON THIS "HOT JOB" SEA PLANE IS STILL VERY SHARP AND EXTREMELY CLEAN. THE COLORS ALL POP ON THIS PLANE AND THIS SORT OF REMINDS ME OF JANIS JOPLIN'S 356'S PSYCHEDELIC COLOR SCHEME.

"HOT JOB SEA PLANE" 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, THERE NEVER WAS A "WINDOW" ON THIS BOX WHICH ALLOWS LITTLE FINGERS TO "TOUCH THE MERCHANDISE"! IN ADDITION, THIS DIE-CUT ALSO MADE THIS BOX A LOT WEAKER AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS BOX, THE EDGES CLOSEST TO THE SEAMS DID TEAR. THIS IS THE REASON MOST OF THESE BOXES GOT TRASHED!

AS JUST MENTIONED, YOU DO HAVE THREE (3) TEARS ON THIS BOXES DIE-CUT TOP. YOU ALSO HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF BOX RASH ON MOST OF THE BOXES PANELS. 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...... UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD RUNINS WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS 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 "HOT JOB SEA PLANE" 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. TO DO THIS YOU NEED TO LOCATE THAT TINY DOOR NEAR MY SELLERS INFORMATION. THE "SEARCH" BAR WILL FURTHER REFINE YOUR SEARCH (IF NEEDED/DESIRED).
