As the sun comes in the solar panels are in the window and spin the propellers of the copper and brass bi-planes. They are quite wonderful I think, and they are still being made. I ordered mine a month or 2 ago. If anyone is interested send me a message and I can give you an address. They are with my chrome antique lighters which I love also.

Very nice!!! I really like the look of that.
Thanks very much Sir !~
Nice planes. Are the bi planes maker marked?
I saw an "aged" one represented as WW1!

Yes, the biplanes are marked. I have bought them new as they still sell them. Have had mine since this summer and the props still spin in the daytime. They are nice since they always seem to spin, and I just think they are wonderful.
Sorry I've missed these Phil, love the planes, looks good the way you've laid them out!
