[Michael]

OK guys, I don't mean to bring my business into our hobby, but something really cool came in and will be sold in our next auction. I don't want anyone to complain that they would have been interested and I didn't tell anyone, so here's the information:

Lot 501
Topping Incorporated professional/industrial desk-top model of an Avro Flying Car, with original box, one landing gear lacking, circa 1958. Provenance: Property of a consignor who inherited it from his uncle, who worked at flight-testing at Avro, until his position was terminated on February 20, 1959, known as "Black Friday". Rare. Estimate: $400 - 600

To be sold February 19, 2013.

I drove mine to work today.  Made that shortcut through Area51 just that much more exciting!

Good luck with the sale and thanks for posting Michael!
