MASERATI Tipo 61
“Birdcage”
Aw come on..,
what is there left
to say about this, the Maser Birdcage?
With little doubt, this is the single most
desirable race car ever made! Only sixteen of these lovely cars, penned by
Giulio Alfieri, were ever made. Most of
the mechanicals were sourced from the retired racers; the 2.9 liter engine was derived
from the 250 S and the suspension was very similar
to that of the 250 F. The chassis was all new and a marvel
of engineering excellence. Made up of around 200 separate small
diameter tubes the space-frame construction was both light and
rigid. After the intricate assembly of tubes, some of which was visible through the windshield, it was quickly nick-named 'Birdcage'. Another novelty for Maserati was the fitting of disc brakes
all around. Alfieri mounted the engine behind the front axle for a
better weight distribution, and to reduce the frontal area it was
canted 45º. The aluminum body was constructed by Gentilini
and Allegretti and wrapped as tightly over the mechanicals as possible to improve the aerodynamics. This 'Birdcage' was officially
known as the Tipo 61. Particularly popular in the United States,
the customer racer finally brought the well deserved racing success
to Maserati. In 1960 and 1961 there was no stopping the likes of
Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall and Roger Penske. Proving the car's superb handling, Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney piloted a
HUGE
1:12 Scale
Camoradi entered Tipo
61 to the overall victory
in the 1960 Nürburgring 1000 km race.
This model, built by
MiniChamps of Germany,
is a great example of model
making. It’s just right! And the
size does matter, since you don’t need glasses to
feast on all the features! 12 ½” long, 5” wide, the tire’s have a
2 3⁄8” Ø. Bonnet and trunk lid opens. And the view is astounding! (We also have the smaller 1:18 scale version on next page).

W
e were tremendously pleased by your reception of T.J. McDermott’s
“Bug-Art”. And TJ is pleased, naturally, since this was a validation for
him. You have been keeping him very busy in his studio. Which is good, it
keeps him out of mischief. I’m just back from a harrowing, European, buying trip. The weather was only good, while I attended trade-shows. Once I
had to hit the Autobahn, the weather went to hell. Picked up a lot of tasty
morsels that you’ll find in this book. Lots of single, collector items that you
shouldn’t dawdle over. So take a peek and act quickly, before those antiques
are all gone! Have fun, spend much, and thanks. Cheers, Justus & Gang

MODELS
1:72 & 1:200 Scale
These guys do a most impressive job with all
metal die-cast, scale
aircraft. For airliners
they chose 1:200
scale, which is nice because you can truly see
how those birds grew, incrementally, as the technology and passenger
count steadily grew, without cluttering your space
too badly. I mean, when
you realize that the fuselage of a DC-2 is about as
large as the tail engine nacelle of a DC-10, you get
the drift… Despite
the diminutive
size of some of
these, the amount of
detail is fabulous. But
then, that’s our job, to
sort it all out for you! The
Fighter planes are all 1:72
scale, which demonstrates
a similar growth in aircraft size. No wonder old
aircraft carriers had to be
retired! You’ll marvel at
these models!

Large Scale Lockheed Super Constellation Travel Agency
Models in 1:50 scale We have only a total of 6 left of these models, and
don’t expect to get any more… As you can see, these are quite large,
(the largest we’ve ever gotten), and need a fair amount of display space.
Beautiful models of a glorious past, when we weren’t jammed like sardines in a can; when air travel was still something real special.
Douglas DC-3 Dakota
Limited Edition This fabulous and venerable aircraft certainly belongs in
the pantheon of all-time greats! Thousands were produced from the end of
WWII well into the 1950’s, used by civilian, military, dope-smugglers, and
private. Utterly reliable, you could fly and land them damned near anywhere. I even got some hours in on N-74 out of Oakland… This model is
truly magnificent, in that it’s made entirely of aluminum, with etched metal
sheets and rivets. Has extreme engine details, props, windows and landing
gear. 25 ½” length, 38 ½” wingspan AP455 $599.50
Junkers JU52 “Iron Annie” One of the
most famous German transport of the war.
Built of corrugated metal skin. Served as an airliner for many nations. It served as a mail carrier
in China, and, fitted with floats, hauled lumber
in remote places in Canada. Its most common work,
however, was done with the German Lufthansa. Equipped with luxuries like typewriters and oxygen masks, the JU52 could fly from Berlin to Rome in eight hours over
the Alps, an impressive feat for contemporary aircraft, let alone an airliner. In World
War II, the JU52 served in every theater in which Germany participated. Some civilian JU52s are still flying in Switzerland and South America! This model is made
with flat and corrugated metal sheet over a lightweight frame. Has a fully detailed
cockpit and passenger cabin. 38 1⁄2” wingspan, 26 1⁄2” long AP454 $549.50

Ford TriMotor Goose Designed by
William B. Stout. In 1925, Ford bought
Stout and his Junkers influenced aircraft
designs. Ford adapted the single-engined
Stout with three Wright (later, more powerful Pratt & Whitney) air-cooled radials.
The Tin Goose was constructed of aluminum, corrugated for extra strength.
Even the control surfaces were made of the
same materials. The control wires for the
elevator and rudder were strung along the
external surface. Similarly, engine gauges
were mounted externally, on the engine
pods, to be monitored by the pilot by
looking through the windscreens! A total
of 199 TriMotors were built between
1926-33, and more than 100 airlines of
the world flew ‘em. On 27-28 November
1929, Admiral Richard E. Byrd and his
crew made the first flight over the South
Pole in a Tin Goose named the Floyd Bennett. As of 2007, there are still 18 in existence, of which five are still flying! Model

Steamer Trunk Stateroom Bar Hey, what would a celebration be without a fully
stocked bar? Made in the style that Vuitton, Goyard and others, made back towards the
end of the 19th Century, and well into the 20th Century, when we were still fortunate
enough to book a nice stateroom for our trans-oceanic travel. (Now we’re reduced to
having a single 40lb suitcase! And that’s for a six-week stay… Truly 3rd class on the
Bulgarian National Railways, eh…) Well, to remedy that sad situation, we offer up this
fabulous bar. Suitable for living room or dorm. Has everything short of the crystal and
the liquids. Wooden rack for storing glasses. Storage for 15 wine bottles. A multitude
of drawers and mirror. Fold-out shelf for added workspace. Two serving trays.
Removable, inset shelf unit and Backgammon & Chess game board. Bridle leather
handles, inside and out. The whole unit is hand-made from seasoned, plantationgrown hardwoods and faux leather, fastened with solid brass hardware. Sturdy casters
let you roll it to your celebration, along with easing the opening of the bar. Absolutely

Architect’s Stand-Up Desk I reckon today they’d call this a
workstation, but in its day, you’d find a floor tightly organized
with rows of these, with gifted men, skilled draftsmen all, busily
drawing plans. Even their lettering resembled calligraphy! They
stood, leaned, lounged up against this stand-up table, with
the adjustable working surface tilted to their
liking. Some would use a tall stool, with one leg on
the ground; these weren’t sit-down jobs. This unit has
an, adjustable, to three tilting positions, working surface,
along with two collapsible wings, one on either side, to add
space if needed, three shallow drawers to store pens, pencils,
rulers and etc., and then two vertical storage slots on either side,
for storing notebooks, and paper. Underneath those slots is a full
width drawing shelf, for the large flats. This is a very solidly constructed desk, made of fine cherry and birch, with solid and
heavy hardware, which is a delight to have in your space. And if
you have backache problems, you’ll find that doing office
tedium is much easier and healthier standing up! I’ll vouch for
it, having gone to a stand-up
desk myself. The desk measures
43 ½” wide x 21 ¾” deep x
39 ½” tall (with top flat); with
both wings extended, overall
width is 72 ½”

FORCES of VALOR 1:32 scale These folks burst onto
the scene a few years ago and have caused a real stir in the industry. The models are nothing short of gorgeous! They had
developed a new form of die-casting metal, that allowed
them to make the models a lot lighter in physical weight, at
the same time refining the details another big notch. (I’ve
had arguments with a variety of customers that claimed the
stuff was made of plastic. In exasperation, I challenged them
to light their Zippo and see if it would melt… Of course it
didn’t.) They also do the most fabulous paint jobs.

German military for training purposes. This particular fleet of nine warships, led by the
Graf Spee, were built during WWII, and are as rare as hen’s teeth. We will not break up
this little collection! The largest of the waterline models here is 6” and the smallest 3 3⁄8”.

PAUL’S MODEL ART
Motorcycles 1:12 scale
This German company, under
the name of “Minichamps” is
about the only maker of
truly fine and exquisite model
motorcycles! There are lotsa
bikes coming out of China,
mostly Indians and Harleys, that
are real junk. Spokes that are way
too fat, scale that’s out of whack,
sloppily built. We wouldn’t insult you with crap like that.
That’s why we stick to Paul’s
Model Art. PMA’s problem
is that their delivery sucks,
and so were always waiting
for stock. Since we prefer
the older, classic bikes, we
only offer what’s in stock at
the time of each catalog printing. These all wind up being limited editions, so grab ‘em when we
have them! The best motorcycle models, although fragile due
to detail, currently
being made!

you get a thorough “ground school,” which includes internal combustion theory; including
two-cycle, and four-cycle engines, both carbureted
and injected. In addition, you must learn how a
transmission functions. To that end, these interesting cut-away models of the various units are
made, for classroom instruction. These are rare
and hard to find! Infinitely interesting for automobilia collectors.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know. This is actually a Komatsu 960E-2K Electric

trucks operated for a living, running at up to 40 mph, you’d refer to ‘em as
a “Mighty Dump” too! This is a wonderful model, since it does about
everything. Dump bed tilts, front wheels steer, soft pliable tires, detailed
cab, updated control panel grid with modified alternator, die-cast railings
and stairs.., and this sucker is huge: 12 ¼” long, by 8” wide, by 6” tall, while
weighing just about 7 lbs! Check it out in the picture with the WA500 Wheel

“The Most Expensive Classic Car in the World” 1:18 scale Limited Edition 5000
This 1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa, chassis number 0714, was perfectly restored and painted
in deep black with a flamboyant red and white nose. The car with the racing
number DM124, was offered at “Leggenda e Passione,” an auction that
took place in Maranello, Italy in May 2009. The bidding went as
high as 9.02 million Euros, and the car changed hands…. Wow!

CMC Classic Model Cars
Germany 1:24 & 1:18 scales
Our favorite model car maker. Starting with
the Trossi Black Prince back a decade ago,
which won them the Model of the Year prize,
till today with many more exquisite models,
virtually all of them have won the top prizes
each year—with each new model being more
fantastic and detailed than the last. There are
no finer, manufactured, or for that matter
hand-built cars, in these scales made.., Period!
At the point where CMC exceeded 1000 individual parts per car, in such a small scale,
our minds were blown. In their Fangio’s
1957 Maserati 250 F, the tail-cone has 301
individually hand-set rivets, partly with washers, alone… Jeez, what next?! The only problem with this constant striving for perfection,
naturally, is that production suffers. It takes
three months to train “mechanics” at the factory, and the factory is only so big. Let it be
said, there won’t be buyer’s remorse on any
car—we guarantee it.

“Lucybelle” 1958 1:18 scale

1938 Bugatti Typ 57 SC Atlantic
Coupé 1:18 scale Only three cars were
built. It was powered by a 3.3 liter inline,
twin overhead cam, 8-cylinder, supercharged engine, pumping out over
200 hp. The Type 57 SC Atlantic was the
fastest street car of its time, capable of
speeds north of 200 Kmh. No other car
was comparable to the elegance and perfection of this breathtaking two-seater.
The extraordinary and painstaking attention to details, are what make this a truly
fabulous model. There are more than
1,700 single parts, assembled by the hand,
to create this piece of art on
wheels. Of course the
hood, trunk and doors open, to reveal the
fine detailing. This model was copied from
the original Chassis Nr.57.591 coupé built
for R.B. Pope in 1938. One of the finest
CMC models yet made! You’ll certainly
need this for your collection. 10” long.
Also available in Black.

Mercedes Benz 300SLR “Uhlenhaut
Coupé”, 1955 1:18 scale Only two
prototypes of this car were built, and it was
and still is a formidable street car. The irony
is that most people only had the chance to
see it from behind, since the fastest BMW
only ran 170 km/h, the fastest Porsche 200
km/h. The Uhlenhaut Coupé at nearly 300
km/h! This superb model is hand-assembled
and composed of 1,817 single parts… The
greenhouse resembles
an aircraft cockpit.
The seats are
covered with
checked cloth fabric.
The interior is covered
with red leather. Complete
with all instruments, control
elements, switches and levers. In the trunk
are two removable spare wheels, which are
of different diameters, for the front and rear
wheels. The side pipes are made of stainless
steel. The cover of the maintenance
opening can be removed. Highly-detailed
straight-eight engine. All aggregates, pipes
and cabling included. Support rod for the
engine hood. Removable three-wing
knock-off lugs and detachable wheels, with
hand-wired spokes, stainless-steel nipples,
and aluminum rim. The best of the best!

This non-plus-ultra four-seat sport convertible was the
pinnacle of German pre-war auto building. The preferred automobile of the rich and famous, of the times.
This large scale model is packed full of incredible details.
Truly CMC’s magnum opus! Pretty much everything on
this fabulous model functions. The hood opens on both
sides. The doors open, the insulated cloth top with “S”
bars open, the trunk opens. The steering works. The
windows crank up and down! The seats are leather and
tilt. The rugs have edge piping. Detailed and plumbed
engine. Detailed dash with all the proper gauges and
switches. Shift and brake lever. Panic grips on dash and
seat backs. Carpeted trunk. Swiveling carrier arms on
boot. Rubber inserts on bumpers. Hand laced stainless
spoke wheels. Twin side-mounts with rearview mirrors.
Fully functional universal joint. Since this model is made
like a real car, i.e., with each piece of sheet metal
(.06mm copper sheet) formed separately and then soldered together, the factory left a few in bare-metal, so
you can see the flawless workmanship of this exceptional
model. A tiny Edition, worldwide, of only 200 cars will be
made this way, and we have two left! The perfectly
polished copper is clear-coated so it won’t oxidize and
retain your fingerprints…
Spectacular!

ith this small, heavy, beautifully realized MicroRacer, Schuco, in 1954, began the single most
successful “family” of products in its history. All share
the same running gear: simple open-wheeled racing
die-cast components, tires, rubber bumper, clockwork
and so forth! Done in the die-cast-making process,
many small and intricate shapes can be made fairly rapidly and with great accuracy. The basic metal component is zinc. All Lilliput Micro-Racer castings are
hand-trimmed, burnished, pickled, and then primed
and painted with automotive paints to the RAL color
standards. One of the great Schuco innovations was
that you could “freewheel” the Micro-Racers with the
spring wound or unwound, without damage to the
gears or mainspring, rolling it forward or backwards!
The name “Micro” came not from the diminutive size
of the cars (1:45 scale), but rather from the microthreaded steering adjustment, usually the tailpipe of
the car. This meant, that so long as the tires were
round, one could set hairpin-sharp courses. The whole
key to these little marvels was that they were: tiny,
heavy, and had steel mainsprings. Couple that with
sticky, fat rubber tires for directional stability, and you
could go screaming across your parquet floors at speeds
(actual) up to 35mph! And so that Mother wouldn’t
yell at us when they hit the furniture, all Micro’s were
equipped with rubber bumpers on their noses.

Aristo Craft Torpedo “14” Aristo Craft, USA LE of 100
Bill Turner took over building the real boats from his father who
originally designed and built the Torpedo “14.” Amazing as it
may sound, you can buy a real, live Aristo Craft Torpedo “14”
today, just like it was made in 1946! Bill started making these funky
models for the owners of the real thing! When I discovered this, I
asked him to make a limited edition just for us. He got caught up in
the enthusiasm and agreed. This is a scale model, made the same way
out of mahogany plywood with handcast pewter hardware. The lights
work. Has an electric outboard. (No, not a real, metal K & O)! Fit and
finish is not museum quality, so don’t expect that, but it is rare as hell,
gorgeously funky and runs well in water! Complete with display stand
and serial number on dash with certificate. 16” long (18” w/motor)
with a beam of 6 3⁄4” ACT14 $549.50

Märklin Metall Constructor Series
Once upon a time, Märklin made a bunch
of construction sets, under the name
“Metall.” They were not dissimilar to our
Erector Sets, only more colorful. More
importantly, in addition they made auto
and truck and airplane kits, that were originally all in parts, in a box, and you had to
screw ‘em together. Gorgeous, large models,
that if you had one as a kid, you were definitely “King of the Sandbox…” They were
expensive, ergo, rare. They each
had massive wind-up motors,
gears, and steering. Doors
opened, even headlights! So here
are all of what we scrounged together for this party. All are brand-new and
have been hoarded for years… We have
these eight models available.

Clemens Designer
Teddys After losing the
family’s shoe factory in
WW-II, Han Clemens and
his sister took the only material at hand, old
Wehrmacht wool blankets,
and started making Teddy
bears in 1948. That was
62 years ago! We’ve been
big fans of Clemens for
many years, having introduced them to the American market many years
ago. In our opinion,
they’re the best. Materials,
design, and workmanship.
Fully jointed, all natural
fibers, mostly fine mohair.
Some with growlers. The
limited editions are small.
The designers, the best in
the trade. These are the
finest Teddys
made. To cuddle ‘em is to
love them.
The only
German brand
of plush critters,
still actually
all made in
Germany!

Böhm Hot Air Engines
Hermann Böhm and Georg Bauernfeind have developed the sweetest hotair-engines (aka Stirling) and vacuum
motors on the planet. They’ve taken
this ancient Egyptian principle to
new, highly aesthetic and whimsical
heights, with their beautiful machine
work and choices of metals; highly
polished brass, aluminum, and stainless steel.
How it works: the Stirling engine is a
closed cycle, it contains a fixed mass of
gas called the “working fluid,” most
commonly air. In normal operation,
the engine is sealed and no gas enters
or leaves the engine. No valves are required, unlike other types of piston engines. The Stirling engine, like most
heat engines, cycles through four main
processes: cooling, compression, heating and expansion. This is accomplished by moving the gas back and
forth between hot and cold heat exchangers. The hot heat exchanger is in
thermal contact with an external heat
source, such as a fuel burner, and the
cold heat exchanger being in thermal
contact with an external heat sink,
such as air fins. A change in gas temperature will cause a corresponding
change in gas pressure, while the motion of the piston causes the gas to be
alternately expanded and compressed.
32
Hot Air Engine HB-25 We were lucky to be the only
outfit to get this, the newest single, from Böhm. Of course
the whole layout could be much more compact and linear,
but that wouldn’t be any fun to observe. That’s why everything is done a little more extravagantly, with the overhead
rocker arms and precision crankshaft. Beautifully realized in
highly finished and polished metals. Fully ball-bearinged.
Runs up to 30 minutes,
at up to 2,500 rpm.
Mounted on black
lacquered beech wood
base. 6” x 4” x 6” tall

Hot Air Engine HB-14 Very cool motor!
Twin cylinder with extravagant frame and
rockers. Boy there is really a lot going on
when this baby is running. Made as perfectly
as all of what Hermann produces, running
on ten ball bearings, with stainless steel, solid
brass and solid aluminum, all highly polished
and mounted on a wooden base. This one is
powerful enough to drive the Ferris Wheel.
6 1⁄4” x 4 1⁄4” x 6”, 2.2 lbs.
HB14 $509.50
Böhm A1 AutoStirling Limited Edition
Hermann just couldn’t help himself, and had to build a
functional automobile around one of his Stirling engines… And what a splendid car it is! Using his Model
HB11 engine, he built this old-time three-wheeler
around it. The steering works, of course, and then there
are three-speeds. Hermann suggests Slow for tabletop
driving, and the other two speeds for running on the
floor. As exquisitely made as all of his work, with highly
polished aluminum, cmc-turned brass components,
that he left unpolished for contrast. Nice rubber tyres to
grip the road, and even a trailer hitch, for the next item
he’ll make: yup, a trailer. Hermann’s plan is to come out
with a whole series of Stirling-powered autos as time
goes on. We can’t wait to have some races. This beauty
measures about 160mm x 90mm x 145mm, or about
6 1⁄3” x 3 1⁄2” x 5 3⁄4” HBA1 $699.50

DAVOSA After over a decade of selling Davosa mechanical watches, we’ve decided to streamline our presentation
somewhat. After all, you already know
that Davosa was founded in the Swiss Jura
(the birthplace of Swiss watch-making) in
1861, by Frédéric Hasler, and the enterprise has been in the family ever since.
These magnificent timepieces are as good
as anything made in Switzerland. I don’t
care how good you might think TagHeuer or Breitling or Ebel or Omega or all
the other brands are; they’re no better than
Davosa… The difference is, that you get
to pay the heavy price of glossy magazine
and TV advertising, that makes you know
those names. Davosa doesn’t do that, or
sponsor expensive tennis championships,
yacht races, or the like. You benefit, by
getting the highest quality Swiss workmanship, at prices that are realistic. In
other words: you actually get what you pay
for. We call this the Preis-Leistungs Verhältniss. (Cost-Value Relationship). Ask
any fancy store that sells quality watches,
what the actual movements in these fancy
brands are, and nine times out of ten, at
least, it’ll be an ETA movement, if it’s
Swiss! And don’t forget, each Davosa timepiece is warranted for two full years! So
there you have it. Feel good about whipping out your checkbook.

Meerschaum Pipes
Fabulous meerschaum pipe carver
from Turkey. Meerschaum is a clay
mineral, which belongs to the Sepiolite group. A highly desirable material for smoking pipes, because of
its unique properties such as absorption, chemical composition,
white color, porosity, low specific
gravity, catalytic and thixotropic
properties. Meerschaum turns
golden-brown after years of puffing.

HOHNER Musikinstrumente,
Germany — These are the folks
that gave us the Peoples Instrument, the Mundharmonika
(mouth harp) in 1857, have been
building them ever since... They’re
the largest and best maker of harps
and have built millions of ‘em.
Hohner continually works with
top professional players on these
instruments, changing, refining,
and even producing whole new
sounds, to suit musical needs. It’s
clear why so many harmonica
players, young, old and most virtuoso performers choose Hohner.
The Bob Dylan Signature Series Harp Hohner’s collaboration with
Bob Dylan naturally lead to the development of a next-generation harmonica. “This new harmonica has an enhanced sonic versatility and produces
both uncharacteristically warm tones while also achieving a brilliance or
‘brightness’ that allows musicians to more freely express themselves,” stated
Scott Emmerman, of Hohner. “It was not easy to achieve the standard that
Bob Dylan represents. Among other things, we gold-plated the reed plate in
order to achieve the specific sonic requirements.” It features custom coverplates bearing Dylan’s signature, a carrying case embossed with Dylan’s
“Eye” logo, and an outer gift box featuring an exclusive picture of Dylan in
the inside cover. 4 1⁄8” x 1 1⁄8” HHM589016 $159.50

Russian Sewing Machine Of all the toys we’ve handled in the
last 25 years, nothing pleased us as much as these wonderful little
sewing machines. We had ‘em in our San Francisco store. Over time
it became increasingly difficult to find them. A pallet full in Latvia, a
couple of cases in Kiev, and so on. Recently a contact in Germany
actually had ordered a whole bunch made new. Well, he sent the
money, but got stiffed on the goods: no sewing machines! Frustrated, since we still have back-orders from 2 years ago, I happened
to chat with an old Eastern Bloc hand who deals in Russian goods,
and guess what! He had just driven there pulling a trailer and
brought back a modest bunch. We took ‘em all! These machines really sew! Sew well, with a chain stitch. Use a nr. 9 needle. All cast
metal with classic gold trim, a large hand wheel with crank,
mounted in a wooden base with bobbin compartment. A great and
welcome find. Better hurry…! 10” x 4 1⁄2” x 7”

Spielwaren Sonneberg. Part number and all that

So fantastic a find for you
tin toy collectors, or shooters of those

China today), in almost life- size, black
with a wood-grained lithographed and
textured set of grips. Comes with two 5” suction-cup
plastic darts. Stick one in the barrel until it clicks, and you’re
locked & loaded. Shoot across the room against any smooth
surface, and the dart will stick with a satisfying thwunk…
Better than any cheesy plastic dart gun I had as a kid,
making this P-38 that much more desirable. Good for
dog-training, I’ve found. Careful around the kids, of course,
they’ll find this collector’s piece irresistible. ~8 1⁄2” x 5”, 5.8 oz

GÜNTHER FLUGSPIELE Aah the Germans and toys… Günther
has been building these exceptional rubber-powered airplanes since 1951.
One thing has never changed, and that’s the wing and tail assembly.
They’re made of thin, strong, spring steel, wire, that’s covered with tough
PE film. You are therefore able to trim and re-trim by simply bending the
structure. And if you get a rip in the film, in a pinch, Scotch tape will
fix that. Long flying, durable, safe toy airplanes, that are a real hoot.

clockwork motor, aft, and a linkage makes the little
guy in the boat pull on the oars, (make sure the slots

motion will, astonishingly propel the craft through the
water! (After use in water, make sure you dry it off and
dust with WD40). First made in 1923. Numbered with
certificate and box. Made in Spain. 14” long

by Hermann Pentz in the

heavy kraftpaper membrane, serving as the wing surface.
The wings are guy-wired to the fuselage with thin wire.
The power plant is a wind-up spiral-spring affair, with
visible down-gearing to the propeller. It takes more than
100 painstaking steps to construct one of these stunningly beautiful, historical airplanes. This Limited
Edition of 2500 pieces was made in 2001. There are
damned few to be had! Made in Germany! The bird
measures: 14” wingspan, 11” from spinner to tail Comes

THE INSECT ART of T.J.McDERMOTT
Trained as a wooden boat builder in Maine, he ran
his own boatbuilding shop in Yarmouth Maine for ten years. Then he started carving name-boards for boats, and name-boards
soon became its own business, as TJ began carving signs, nationally and internationally, for townships, municipal buildings, and
specialty retailers. At some point TJ got his snoot full of having to deal with typically egotistical art directors, on the carved signage, and focused his work on creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Weathervanes, sculptures in wood, stone, multi media, and
yes, Bugs! He started an art gallery in Portland, Maine, as a way to gain more exposure for his work. But back to the bugs! As
he was cleaning up his studio one day, he found some desiccated insects among the sawdust, and a beetle caught his eye: the
colors were fantastic, and so he was off and running. Hooked up with a insect-specimen seller in the Philippines, whom he
would send 50 bucks, and would get back these gorgeous, dried, and carefully wrapped beetles, dragonflies, grasshoppers, et
al., usually destined for entomological researchers and collectors. He found, with experimentation, that if he rehydrated the bugs,
he could gently move their legs, wings, and whatever other extremities, into various positions. He would then pin them in
these new positions to a board, until they were completely dry again.., and voilà, the art presented itself. Not only are the compositions stunning, the bugs are even more so! Who would’ve believed the fantastic color array? Who has ever seen a grasshopper’s wing, to discern the delicate and subtle colorations? These compositions are done with a sense of humor, by having bugs,
surrounding a stone, or other object, and seemingly either protecting or scrambling for it. Please note that each piece is a one-ofa-kind piece, and when TJ makes a duplicate, the stones don’t always, by necessity, match the one we’ve photographed…
