HERE WE ARE OFFERING UP A VINTAGE, BOXED, TIN, CLOCKWORK "HELICOPTER ON AIRFIELD" WHICH WAS/IS MADE BY TPS ~ T.P.S. AND THIS COPY/VERSION WAS DISTRIBUTED BY CRAGSTAN.
WITH THIS EXAMPLE, BELOW YOU HAVE AN EMBEDDED VIDEO WHICH WILL VERIFY AND SHOW YOU THAT THIS "HELICOPTER OF AIRFIELD" IS IN PERFECT, ORIGINAL OPERATIONAL CONDITION/SHAPE.
THIS HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR WELL OVER 4 DECADES NOW. IT HAS SAT IN MY HEATED BASEMENT TUCKED AWAY IN A SMALL CABINET IN ONE OF THE MANY "WEIRD SHHT DRAWERS" THAT IT HAS.
IN FACT, I HAVE TWO (2) OF THESE TOYS FROM TPS. AND THE ONE WHICH IS FEATURED/SHOWN HERE, IS THE ONE WHICH YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM US.
YOU WILL SEE THAT THE TIN CLOCKWORK HELICOPTER HAS NO DINGS, DENTS, RUST OR CORROSION FOUND ANYWHERE ON IT. THE BASE, I DID NOTICE ONLY AFTER THESE PICTURES THAT YOU DO HAVE SOME MINOR SIGNS OF SOME CORROSION AT THE 12 AND 6 O'CLOCK POSITIONS ON THE TIN BASE JUST STARTING TO PEAK THROUGH. ITS NOT THAT BAD, BUT I DO FEEL COMPELLED TO POINT THIS OUT (THIS IS NOT NOTED IN THE VIDEO AS IT WAS NOT DETECTED/DISCOVERED TILL AFTER REVIEWING ALL OF THE PICTURES).
THE ORIGINAL KEY IS ATTACHED TO THE TIN BASE VIA ITS ORIGINAL THREAD.
BOTH THE BASE AND SMALL CLOCKWORK (MECHANICAL/WIND-UP) HELICOPTER GRAPHICS ARE ALL HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THIS IS KEY AS YOU WILL NEVER HAVE OR SEE AND STICKERS OR DECALS FALL OFF, BLEED THROUGH, FADE OR PEEL OFF.
WE DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE THE EXTRA TIME TO REVIEW, NOT ONLY THE 24 STILL PICTURES AND THE EMBEDDED VIDEO BELOW AS WELL.
HERE'S THE VIDEO:
