Selkirk Auctioneers and Appraisers:
Photography at its' Best
Earlier this past week, I had just finished my first post about
Selkirk Auctioneers and Appraisers. The next day, I went to search
for more toys.
There was a whole auction of toys, but what best caught my eyes were 2 Tippco airplanes that were beautifully photographed. After I had written and posted Selkirk's first post, I wrote to them to proofread the post. But I also commented
how excellent their photography is.
Today's post is about 2 Tippco airplanes
The Tippco Toys Company was a German company started up in 1912
by Mr. Philipp Ullmann. It became very successful and had manufactured lithographed tin toys in Europe.
Airplane # 1
Description:
D-IGAN Tippco Double-Decker Fighter Airplane
German, circa 1940 , lithographed tin.
Wingspan: 14 1/2 inches x 10 inches (36.83 x 25.40 cm)
As you can see, the photography is excellent. Using a white background and hanging the toy planes by a wire line, gives them a sense of flight.
What I also like about Selkirk Auctioneers and Appraisers is that they provide lots of photographs for potential auction bidders to clearly see what they are bidding upon.
Airplane # 2
Description:
D-Olaf Tippco Single Wing Bomber Airplane
German, circa 1940, lithographed tin.
With composition pilot and four original bombs
that accept caps. Bombenflugzeub (Bomber Plane)
Wingspan x Length:
14.30 inches x 10 inches
36.32 cm x 25.4 cm
The photo below is a screen-capture of the last photo above.
I don't know if everybody knows this, but
if you click on any photo, a large-sized image will show,
and below that, small photos of all the photos of the blog
will appear.
You can move your cursor (arrow) to the first photo on the left,
and click on each of the photos to see them LARGE-SIZED.
I hoped that you enjoyed the post and the fantastic photography
to compliment these old toys. It's hard to believe that they are
more that 75 years old!
How time flies!
(please excuse the idiom)
Thanks for dropping by,
And as always, have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
