TH
IS CAME TO ME BY THE WAY OF MY GOOD FRIEND IN THE UK. HE WAS IN CHARGE OF A MULTI-UNIT STORAGE FACILITY AND THIS WAS IN ONE OF HIS BUILDINGS.
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 9
0
% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS
COOL (SMALL) TIN HELICOPTER
IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS MODEL
USES
DUAL FRICTION DRIVE MOTORS. ONE OF THESE ARE PLACED ON EACH END AND DRIVES THE ROTO ABOVE.
THESE WERE TE
STED AND
THEY BOTH WORK
ED
PERFECTLY WI
TH NO SLIPPAGE IN THE FRICTION DRIVE WHAT-SO-EVER. THE BLADES ARE ALSO ON A CLUTCH TYPE DRIVE SO IF YOUR HANDS WERE TO GET CAUGHT IN THE SPINNING OF THE BLADES, THEY SIMPLY STOP SPINNING, BUT, THE FRICTION DRIVEN WHEELS CONTINUE ON THEIR MERRY WAY.
THE TIN LITHOGRAPH
FOUND THROUGHOUT TH
E
BODY OF THIS HELICOPTER IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO FRICTION WEAR OR ANY IMPERFECTIONS THAT I CAN FIND, OTHER THEN THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE TRACES. NO RUST IS FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS HELICOPTER.
THE FOUR (4) WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NO CRACKS, FLAT SPOTS OR DRY-ROT.
AS THE SMALLER VERSION OF THIS B&S TIN HELICOPTER, THE BODY MEASURES OUT AT JUST UNDER 8 INCHES (20CM).
THE SIX (6) PLASTIC BLADES ARE 100% ORIGINAL AND SLIDE INTO PLACE AND LOCK INTO POSITION. ALL OF THESE BLADES ARE STRAIGHT, AND EASILY OPEN AND CLOSE (FOR STORAGE). PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MODEL HAS "PLASTIC" BLADES MAKING THIS A SECOND "WESTERN GERMANY" MADE GENERATION MODEL AS THE FIRST GENERATION HAD "TIN" BLADES. THEY REALIZED THAT THE TIN BLADES WERE BENDING AND THEY OPTED TO REPLACE THESE WITH PLASTIC BLADES ON THE SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT PRODUCTION RUNS.
ON THE SIDE OF THIS HELICOPTER YOU HAVE
THE LOGO AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE
MANUFACTURER, WHICH IS THE ELEPHANT WITH THE INITIALS "B&S" A TOP OF IT
.
THE ORIGINAL BOX
OFFERED HERE IS IN
SHOWCASE
SHAPE/CONDITION.
THE LIDS SHOW VIRTUALLY NO WEAR
, ABRASIONS OR STORAGE RASH.
NO TAPE IS USED ANYWHERE ON THE BOX AND ALL OF THE END FLAPS AND TABS ARE FIRMLY ATTACHED AND LOCK INTO EACH OTHER.
I HAVE JUST LOCATED TWO (2) OF THESE IN IDENTICAL SHAPE/CONDITION. IN ADDITION, I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THIS HELICOPTERS BIG BROTHER! THAT'S RIGHT, I HAVE FOUND TWO (2) OF THESE AS TRUE NOS IN THE EVER-SO-RARE LARGER VERSION! THESE WILL BE LISTED NEXT!! I DID PICTURE THE BOXES OF BOTH OF THESE IN MY LAST PHOTO.... THIS IS JUST FOR SIZE COMPARISON AND ONLY ONE OF THE SMALL HELICOPTERS IS INCLUDED IN THIS OFFER (UNLESS YOU OPT TO PURCHASE BOTH OF THEM).
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO, OR A SIMPLE PUSH TO SEE IF THE FRICTION DRIVE IS WORKING!  I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS TIN DUAL FRICTION DRIVEN HELICOPTER
IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
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.
ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY, VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER
FULLY TIN
, DUAL FRICTION DRIVEN
HELICOPTER THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX
IN PRISTINE SHAPE/CONDITION AND
NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED AND PROUD TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF TIN,
FRICTION DRIVE
, ANTIQUE/VINTAGE, U.S. MILITARY, FLYING, WESTERN GERMANY MODEL COLLECTION!!
