The Franklin Mint's "The World's Greatest Aircraft" collection is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast. This set of 22 pewter aircraft models, made in Malaysia in 1987, features famous international planes from post-1900 and includes intricate intaglio details. Each unit comes in silver color and is an original piece from The Franklin Mint. This collectible set is a great addition to any decorative collection and showcases many iconic aircraft. The World's Greatest Aircraft Collection is a unit type set, with each piece made of high-quality pewter metal and representing key milestones of aircraft through history. This set is perfect for display and admiration, and is a true gem for collectors.
This is a set of 22 airplane figures. All 22 planes are included, with all bases and most stands (3 wire stands are substitutes from original). The planes are displayed on a polished mahogany three-tiered display stand.
There are NO CERTIFICATES included with this set. This is just the set of planes and bases, with the beautiful mahogany 3-tier display stand.
These figures are in great condition, but some do show small signs of wear (pewter is a soft metal, some propellers and or wheels are slightly bent). Some figures show more wear than others, but the set is in almost perfect condition. I am not comfortable trying to straighten the small propeller and have left the few that are slightly bent for the new owner to attempt straightening.
