Sy Merral was one of the mainstays of the "Plane News" bunch back in the old days. I just opened an email from Phil Weiss the Long Island, NY auctioneer and was surprised to see he was selling the Sy Merrall Coll. Part 1. There is one huge lot of ID models & a bunch of great cast iron airplanes and others. If I didn't have to be in Cincinnati Saturday I'd be there!
