A Most Interesting Discovery
From an Excellent ebay Seller
I'm always searching the Internet for new companies, people or websites.
And so it was, just a few days ago, when I was on ebay, when I titled a search for "Cast Iron Airplanes". A list of different sellers was presented, but what caught
my eye was not the toy, but the excellent photography!
The photography was super! Excellent lighting, well-composed with the key item being the centre of attention, and a beautiful table. If you took the colour out, you'd imagine that you were looking at a photo from the 1940's.
It was just so wonderful!
I sent an internal e-mail to the seller on ebay, and got a reply in a short time,
with permission to write about Mr. Ted Quillin and his ebay store trq67. Not only did I obtain his permission, but he provided me with interesting information about the company that had made the cast iron airplane!
What Service!
Ted's willingness to go that extra distance to provide me with information on this toy was no accident. ebay has given him a high rating for excellent service as a seller. You can see the 2 screen-captures about the North& Judd Company at the bottom of this post.
Description
"A rare North & Judd cast iron Lindy airplane. Sales were slow during the depression years and they made toys for 1 year to increase sales.
The plane is 6 3/8" long and a 4 3/4" wingspan"
(Depression years: 1929-1941)
What I liked about Ted's photography is the quality of the photos.
The cast-iron toy was placed on a nicely-grained tabletop, with an interesting table lamp base.I especially like the lighting. The toy is well-lit, and the shadow adds a nice 3-D (depth) to the photo.
I didn't have to research this fine toy, as Ted sent me 2 references of the
North & Judd Company.
So that's it for today.
Thanks for dropping by,
and as always,
have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
