Museum quality toy?

Probably worth the money for a serious collector...must be from the early 1930s when Germany was forbidden military aircraft...tin plane, diecast or lead crew?

A beautiful toy. I've always wished that Tippco had produced an autogiro toy! I don't know enough about these toys to comment on whether they were sold with pilot figures...

I think it's the box that makes this example better than usual.

I just noticed that one of the ebay samples I posted last summer seems to be a biplane version of this Tippco toy Image
