Hi, Your aircraft carrier type folding wing airplane was made by All Metal Products Company better known as Wyandotte, which was where the company was based in Michigan. It is pre-war and you can find a few other models of similar vintage here on CW that have been posted in the past.
THANKS fourpeepsake the info is appreciated
I love these Wyandotte aircraft. I'd love to get a few more some day, but I'm too busy buying tanks! Nice one!
P.S. I'd keep the original axle and wheels if remotely possible. Give everything a nice oiling and a gentle cleaning (you want to stop the orange, active rust if there is any).
Always glad to be of assistance. Here is a link to one I came across online.
