Here are two early pressed steel tadpole helis - no markings. Any idea, hovermd?

I've seen that exact toy on top before. My notes say that it was made in Soviet Russia, but I don't have any other details. I'm pretty sure it had a vertical tail fin at one point. Does it look like that might have been the case?

I believe the bottom one is made by Warmet out of Poland. Here's one I picked up a while back that has the rotor.

The rotor blades are actually a very semi-rigid cardboard-like material.

Thx, Mark!
re. the possibly Russian one: yes, there should be a vertical fin on the tail.
My tadpole-collection keeps growing! Below a slection of smaller ones.
