r/BalsaAircraft

I was recently given about 20 of these old Balsa wood model planes at random. This is a foreign hobby to me, so I don’t know anything about these nor know what to do with them. I plan on maybe keeping one or two, but these don’t really call to me as a hobby.

Can anyone tell me roughly how old they are? The boxes say they’re reproductions from the 30s-40s, but don’t give a manufactured date

Are they collectors items? They seem to be in decent shape overall if so

I’d like to get these off my hands without throwing them away

I finally got these nice aluminum prop spinners slotted for my 3 blade Master Airscrew counter rotating props! I love the more prototypical look of the counter rotating 3 blade props much much more. The aluminum looks amazing too! These are from Vortech Spinners in the Midwest, I forget where exactly.
