I know there are some folks on this forum that collect Winchester items other than guns.

I submit this old 30’s airplane marked Winchester Store so I may find a little more about it.

By far, the cutest Winchester I have ever seen.   Thank you, Big Larry

All I know is that the cast-iron toys (if that’s what it is) that show up on the Antique Roadshow often bring big dough, especially when the paint is as good as it is on this one.

Jeez, I just copied this to Google Images, and no matches were found–must mean it’s RARE!

Clarence, I got a letter from an Estate Equity Corp. dated May 15, 1992, with the plane. He says the plane was made by the Freemont Toy Co. They went into business in 1929 and folded in 1930 due to the Depression. He valued the plane at $225 in 1992. He went on to say they are fairly rare. I also was given the sellers email address and I am going to write him. This is getting interesting.   Big Larry
