Old
Time Fire Engine
Early
aviation depended greatly on the wind conditions.
Going where
thewind blows, creative pilots used the
four winds to help themselves off the ground.
Adventurous fliers
with map in hand, packed their
bags and headedoff into the wild
blue yonder allowing
the weather to decide when and where to land.
It was
with this spirit that theWeathervane Plane was created.
Ready
for take off!
This
Vintage Collectable Sculpture has been
completely fabricated
from curios and includes many
detailed components that would
accompany pilots on
their flights. A travel trunk and other carry-on containers
ride
behind the pilot. A map of the world is rolled beneath the hard
wood tobacco bag backed seat. A glass window clears the view and
a leather safety belt secures the pilot in the plane. The controls
include a fabricated steering wheel, joy stick and thermostat.
Kinetic features include the wings and
tail. The weathervane propeller turns manually by a wooden handle
control. This vintage model also features other carry-on items
that include a long handled barbecue fork, a handy pocket knife,
scrolling gauge
and key. The Weathervane Plane is 4 ft. long, has an extended wing
span of 3 ft. and rolls on wheels.
