Description
BILLER TOYS - Germany (1) LITTLE CURRENT "TRANS WORLD FLYER ROUND-THE-WORLD AIRPLANE Ref. 100. Extraordinary and uncommon, this set, made in Germany around 1947, is both a mechanical toy and a board game. The large (59 x 59 cm) cardboard world map features an airport, a twin-engine propeller plane, a control box for adjusting the rotation height, and game cards each bearing a flag corresponding to those on the building. A double leaflet sets out the game rules. In short, each player (from 2 to 12) must land the plane precisely on the airport corresponding to their card. The various clockwork mechanisms are operated by 2 keys: one attached to the plane turns the propellers, the other rotates the metal arm on which the plane turns. The airport, plane and case are made of lithographed sheet metal. The whole thing works, and the result is quite spectacular! In original box, with nicely illustrated lid showing the age of the model, and a few repairs inside. Condition: A/c
