NICE LARGE VINTAGE 1926 AMERICAN FLYER EMPIRE EXPRESS MONOPLANE 550 . CIRCA 1926.
There is normal wear and tear, scratches, oxidation and color loss in spots due to age , dust is also present.
OVERALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL STICKERS AND THE TAIL IS LEGIBLE.
These are approximate dimensions 19.5L x 18W x 5.5H.
Missing the back wheel that helps keep in motion on the ground. Does not have the original string, it is tied with a shoelace.
I WOULD PERSONALY REPLACE THE SPRING THAT CONTOLS THE PROPELLER, I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS ORIGINAL. IT IS WORKING CURRENTLY.
I HAVE OBTAINED QUITE THE COLLECTION OF OLDER TIN TOYS FROM A LOCAL MINNESOTAN. IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I WILL BE ADDING 50 MORE! STAY TUNED FOR SOME GREAT DEALS AND GOOD MEMORIES, MOST IN WORKING ORDER.
(ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME TLC NEEDED TO SOME FROM DUST OR OLD SPRINGS, DINGS AND TOUCH AND GO WIRING. ALL ARE COMPLETE UNLESS MENTIONED OTHERWISE.)
