I love that color scheme, black and orange, very 1930's.
You have the largest size, tony. You can tell from photos by looking at the tail, if it is rounded it is the big one, if it is pointed it is the smaller one. These are not expensive today on ebay and Hubley must have produced millions of them....

Bill, are you thinking what I am thinking?
Alas, I have never seen a cast iron rotor issued on a Hubley's autogiro, it was stamped steel plate and chromed in my experience.
Hubley also almost always chromed the props,landing gear legs wheels, and motors too. I am thinking you may have a copy/ counterfeit. What was the source?
