Description: | Lead Alloy Toy Aeroplane fragment. Front end of a solid cast toy aeroplane made in two parts, loosely modelled on an early twin-engined jet fighter. This is a nose cone with twin engines beside it, and was attached by an elastic band looped around the projecting engines to the fuselage and wings. A paper percussion cap inserted between flat surfaces at the back of the nose cone and at the front of the fuselage would be detonated when the plane was thrown to land on its nose, which is flattened by use. These toys remain available from retailers of heritage novelties. Suggested date: Modern, 1960-2000.Length: 11.7mm, Width: 19.3mm, Diameter (nose cone): 9.5mm, Weight: 3.71gms.
