This is a Japanese TRANS WORLD AIRLINES Seven Seas DC-7C. It has the maker marks, "E.T.Co., made in Japan" and "Y" (yone or yonezawa) 9" long x 10" wingspan, the propellers turn when you run up the motors. The toy is very nice, with no rusting or heavy scuffs. T are some minor flaws and t, as you can clearly see in the pictures, but it is a beautiful thing! It has a friction motor, with nice bright paint and lithographics, however, t are some dents one could spend some leisure time pushing them back out. The toy DC-7 had a tailwheel, but it is missing. Although the real airplane had a tri-gear (nosewheel), this toy did not! Japanese artists license! I think the Toymaker used the tailwheel instead to support the weight of small boys who would push these airplanes around. Good luck in your bidding. From the 1950's decade, when Men were men, and boys were little men. Free shipping to USA addresses, all others pay cash! Oh, relax, it's a joke...! I will send it internationally, but you pay the actual shipping charges, OK? After all, it is a TWA airplane! For example, EMS to Germany or Japan is $36USD additional. Please see my other auctions, and ask questions if you have any! What you see is what you get!
