Can anyone help me identify this very cool "Pelikaan" diecast airplane toy?
My understanding is that "Pelikaan" is Dutch for "pelican." In German, "pelican" is spelled with only one "a" and would be "Pelikan."
So, I'm assuming this was made for a Dutch audience.
I recently acquired the toy in a lot of pre-war Dinky (England) aeroplanes.
It is very heavy diecast with a large-scale tin 3-bladed propeller. It has a fuselage length of nearly 9.5 cm and a wingspan of 10 cm.
The right wing shows the residue of a transfer or decal. Otherwise it is in excellent condition.
A photo is below:
I was unable to find this toy in Sue Richardson's Diecast Toy Aircraft book...
Any help?
