This is an original and vintage 1920’s Wyandotte Pressed
Steel with Wood Wheels Toy Airplane. This vintage toy airplane has beautiful
lines and colors and if you are a vintage toy collector I think the recognition
may be immediate. If not, this then is a classic and highly sought after
vintage toy made by the All Metal Products Co (AMPC) in Wyandotte, Michigan in
the late 1920's through the 1930's - this firm produced a wide assortment of
inexpensive quality toys for both boys and girls under the Wyandotte Brand
name. This toy airplane is clearly used but in very nice plus condition. The
body and wings are solid and there are no dents the vertical stabilizer or fin
does wobble from side to side but remain attached. The wheels themselves are
made of wood and remain intact and are in excellent condition. The dimensions
are - body length is 7-1/4” long and the wingspan is 10” wide. This airplane is
a wonderful toy collectable and is hard to find in this condition. AMPC was
established in 1920 it sourced and recycled scrap metal from the neighboring
auto plants from the outset - in due course, becoming one of the largest toy
manufacturers in the USA. Unfortunately, the advent of plastics and foreign competition
in the early 1950's lead to its fiscal demise and bankruptcy in 1956 its
remaining assets were thereafter acquired by Louis Marx and Company, a
competing toy manufacturer.
