Lot 187: Two Vintage Metal Model Aircraft

A group of two vintage-style metal model aircraft, comprising a single-engine fighter and a twin-engine transport plane. The larger model is a cast metal fighter plane with a bronze-toned finish and elliptical wings, characteristic of a Supermarine Spitfire, mounted on a tiered square pedestal base. A white adhesive paper auction label is attached to the upper surface of the left wing, which reads SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS LOT 187 01132502626. The smaller model is a silver-toned twin-engine transport aircraft, characteristic of a Douglas DC-3 or C-47 Dakota, mounted on a circular stand. A small white rectangular adhesive sticker is applied to the upper surface of the right wing bearing the handwritten characters 12870. No manufacturer names, hallmarks, or other marks are discernible on either item.
