I had a similar toy as a kid. It wasn't the same design as this. I seem to think my fuselage was squarer than this one. I do distinctly remember the rotors, which were olive drab with three orange stripes on each blade. I remember how they would fold up so they could fit into the box.
A beautiful tin chopper that Ed! You have the best tin fleet around!
ReplyDeleteThanx Woodsy - and this is just the tip of the Ice 'Berg' LOL
DeleteThat is seriously beautiful. What a world of joyous toys it was back then! SFZ
ReplyDeleteTin toys have always had a fascination for me and were the crux of my collecting adventures for quite a few years.

ReplyDeleteI do have other helo's that are squarish/boxy in appearance and I enjoy them all
DeleteSuper cool litho for a super cool chopper. Lovely piece, Ed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony! I have a 'few' more to offer as time permits.
