Hubley - Passenger plane - LINDY - Hubley giro plane

Beautiful and rare piece of antique American cast iron toy: an original Hubley Giro Plane from the 1930s.
This iconic model is recognizable by the detailed, silver-colored radial engine at the front, the movable nickel propeller and the thick white rubber tires on red rims. The fuselage and wings are finished in the original orange paint.
Specifications & Condition:
• Manufacturer: Hubley Manufacturing Co., Lancaster, PA (USA).
• Material: Heavy cast iron.
• Condition: In 100% original, played-with state with nice patina and the characteristic paint loss consistent with age (see photos). No cracks or fractures in the iron. The propeller and wheels rotate smoothly. Note: the loose three-bladed rotor that was originally mounted on top of the fuselage has been lost over the years (the mounting hole remains intact).
A fantastic and authentic collectible for the pre-war cast iron toy enthusiast.
