Wooden rocking aeroplane, antique?

Hi all,

I was given a wooden rocking aeroplane by family for my son who has since grown out of it, i have been contemplating selling it but am unsure as to what its value is.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Chris

 

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the board. We really need some photos of the plane to give you any useable information about your object.

Thanks, having a few problems uploading photos from my phone but hopefully will be able to get a pic up soon

 

Phones make huge picture file sizes. Without resizing you will not be able to load them.

 

I take pictures with my phone and then use Yahoo email to send to laptop... Yahoo gives you a re-size option just as you send. I pick the SMALL option, and it works well for this forum.

 

Thanks for the advice, im waiting for BT to sort themselves out and connect my broadband properly so i can actually use my laptop!

Hopefully that will be later today,

Thanks again

 

Without wishing to sound like a real prick........

If family gave me toy , & I gave it to my son.....then I'd consider it his , and when he outgrew it, I'd pack it up and store it for him, for when the time came for him to decide what he wants to do with it.....

After all, this is an ANTIQUES forum...
& one day , that plane will be too !

 

komokwa, If I kept every toy my kids were given as babies/children I would need another house to store them in.
Ya can't keep everything!

 

Sentimentally yes it would be nice to keep, however we don't really have the space to store it, and truth be told he's hardly ever used it!

Nice thought though

 

I really hope that pictures ensue -- because I have no idea what this thing looks like. i am picturing one of those critters that used to live outside supermarkets...and wiggled...and beeped...

 

I'm not suggesting he keep every toy.
I understand space is an issue.
Yes, once we see it , if it's a low quality run of the mill play toy, I'll counter with donating it to a Children's Hospital.
If on the other hand it's a high quality wooden rocker.......that was hardly ever used !!....well then I'll stick to my original thought that it's worth keeping in the family so that one day Chris's kid can pass it on to his kids.

That's how things become antique family heirlooms.

 

Komokwa, are you a politician? If not then you should be!

Apologies, once again BT have let me down, and after a 45 minute phone conversation it looks like i'll not have broadband for at least 48 hours.

However i will try and use my work computer to upload an image tomorrow, sorry for the suspense!!

Regards

 

Thanks Chris, but I could never be a politico....I'm too honest !

 

Sorry its taken a while to get a picture up but (hopefully!) here it is

Thanks

 

Chris, that's a seriously nice rocker !
What ever you decide to do with it.....I wish you well !

 

Thanks! I would have no idea at what value to auction it for though :s
