Named for the German pioneer of the dirigible, Count von Zeppelin. Since they first flew in 1928, these rigid airships have fascinated aviation collectors as symbols of progress. Today, their scaled replicas are highly regarded as the desk toys for the modern executive. Our scaled replica of a pre-World War II toy complete with spinning metal wheels, is cast in foundry iron, intricately hand-painted, and then antiqued to resemble a vintage original. 8"W x 3"D x 3"H. 2 lbs.
