Aiken's airplanes has now been online
for "Nine & Half Years"! The response has been very warm and positive.
Thank you all for the very nice comments.
The currently inventory includes thousands of beautiful
die-cast metal aircraft, fifty-six Ande Rooney Porcelain Aviation Signs and
hundreds of hand craved mahogany aircraft and ships! Additional
listings are added continuously!
WHO COLLECTS THESE AIRPLANES?
These die-cast metal airplanes began in 1991 as an extension of the classic cars, trucks and tractors that were produced for corporate America to use for promotional purposes. This is referred to as "Custom Imprints". One or two new airframes were added each year beginning with the Travel Air "Mystery Ship" in 1991 by Revell-Monogram. Next, Liberty Classics entered the arena followed by Ertl in 1993. Gearbox Collectibles entered the field in 1997. Just within the last couple of years, this new segment has taken off into a whole new area- authentic military replicas from WW II. The custom imprints are still doing well too, but the big noise is in the WW II
and modern militaryAs we stated above, this is a great time to start your collection of these limited editions as these are, in many cases, the first ones to be produced (of a given tool) and are being produced in such small numbers! Not only are these aircraft beautiful to display, but they should appreciate nicely over time and serve as valued family collectibles, to be passed on within the family. Flying, aviation and airplanes have bitten many of us and short of owning your own war bird, these scaled replicas come as close as possible to filling the void! Put up a row of P-51 Mustangs on your shelf side by side and maybe a row of F4U Corsairs also. If you don't get a little moved by this view, then may we suggest classic cars!
