Cast iron airplane

[treasurekidd]

I picked up this cast iron toy plane at a flea market and was thinking it was pretty old. I listed it on ebay this morning, and someone emailed me and told me it was a repro from Taiwan. There are no makers marks on it at all. Does anyone know anything about these? I'd appreciate a second opinion. Thanks!!

GRRRR....The Asians are copying everything now, making it very hard to tell if you have a real item or not...I used to know a lady(not asian), that would get "new" metal toy soldiers, have her husband torch them, and let them weather a little while, and voila! an 80 year old soldier....life is hard enough without having the "fake" factor throw in....
