Description: c.1930s Print Block Early Seaplane/Floatplane +Bonus Print Block (from same period) - Concept "Flying Wing" [ FEATURES AND CONDITION DETAILS... ]These original period print blocks came from the estate of a collector of antique/vintage aircraft-related items.The larger print block is approx. 3½" square, and it contains a professionally-made line drawing of an early seaplane in three views: plan, elevation, and section--including the aircraft's dimensions (shown in feet and inches). It is unclear what specific model this meant to depict. It is similar to the 1938-era Vought OS2U Kingfisher or Curtis SOC Seagull. Or it may just have been a piece of conceptual artwork for Popular Mechanics or another magazine.The bonus print block is from the same period (c.1930s), approx. 2" x 3½" and appears to be an artist's conception of a futuristic "flying wing." They are either zinc or magnesium, mounted on mahogany blocks. [ CONDITION... ]- As-is vintage condition, from a non-smoking environment- A hint of surface corrosion as pictured--typical with these zinc/magnesium images. These blocks are being sold as-is. The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?) It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up. PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
