1920’s Metalcraft Spirit of St. Louis Trimotor Bi-Plane

This metal erector set plane was very popular due to Lucky Lindy's flight triumphs. The plane can be reassembled or even reconfigured by removing the easily accessible screw and nuts that are still holding everything together. 

The toy measures approximately 11 ¼” wide and 9” in length. All parts appear to be present and working and the three engines have their unique propellers attached.

The metal is in good condition with some minor oxidation and wear. The original kit wheels are present and working fine.

This toy reminds us of the time when children played with screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers and did not know about wireless controllers that could illustrate a plane but not build one.
