Item Details

Description

Made by Ernst Plank Company. Nuremberg, Germany - 1908. (Possibly made by Mohr & Krauss) 20" Long with a 14 3/4" Wingspan. Without any doubt, this is one of the most important early toy airplanes to ever be sold at auction. It bears a very significant resemblance to the 1903 Wright Flyer. The front elevators, the rudder, fuselage, propellors, motor and wing tips are all virtually identical to those found in all early biplane design. This plane has been in a prominent collection for many years. The condition for an early hand-painted German toy is very exceptional. When wound, the toy worked very well.
