Scratch Made Folk Art WW1 Style Triplane/Seaplane brass toy stacked in a group and

stacked in a group and looking very much like a minimalist sculpture

With a square base (it stands on its own) and tapering to a round bulb at top

and the house is large enough to hold a small fortune

Scratch Made Folk Art WW1 Style Triplane/Seaplane brass toy stacked in a group andThis is an inventive creation made from scratch (scrap!) by someone who knew how to make stuff! It was welded together of cut tin, steel, wire, screws and who knows what all, but all of it metal I believe, yielding a WWI style triplane that I find a surprisingly elegant thing, almost like a three dimensional drawing in space with a rather balletic feeling to its lines. Great from every angle, it would be a nice one actually see floating in the breeze,
