Bill, good to see some other cast iron here.
Do you know the makers of those small ones- I know the large and middle size Hubley Spirit of St Louis, but not some of the rest

The first photo of the dark blue and red versions are Hubley. They say "UX-166" on the wing and have a 6" wingspan. I deleted the third photo which was a duplicate of the first.

The second photo shows 3 Hubleys with a 3" wingspans.

The third photo is a red Hubley with a 10" wingspan.

I'm not sure what the 4th one is but it has paper decals of some sort.

The fifth photo is a light blue Hubley with a 7" wingspan.

I also have a red and dark blue Dent versions with "Lucky Boy" on the 4" wing but I didn't have a photo.
