No.67a WOW A Record price for the JU 89 HEAVY BOMBER

[grwebster]

Granted this was a pristine example with box but $995!!
Mitigating factors: This particular model is quite rare and was only produced for a very short period before WW II when toy production ceased. Most examples found suffer from 'fatigue' or perhaps more properly called metal disintegration. The distinctive black top surfaces with the German Cross, silver cockpit, red props, light blue underneath, and the Swastikas on the vertical tails make it a very striking toy.

Here is the Ju-89


Dinky toy was able to produce several different toys from the same basic casting simply by changing the die insert.
These were all made from basic casting of the the JU-90.
