Hubley #49 Mighty Metal Airport Set in Box *SOLD*

Hubley #49 Mighty Metal Airport Set in Box

Our massive Hubley Airport Set Number 49 comes from its original owner.  It was well taken care of and has all the parts, pieces, box, and tough-to-find insert.

The set was made just after the war from die cast metal and it was an extremely rare and expensive boxed toy to purchase.  — 349 cents!  Keep in mind that most families spent at NDQ stores with nickels, dimes and quarters.

The airplane propellers are still in good condition as are the wheels.  There is a “Daryl” inked into the box lid.  The pickup bore the brunt of play wear and has some scratching.  The Lockheed lightning is in very good condition and an extremely tough plane and color to find.

We note that the set is likely a 1962 or 63 deluxe set.  The Ford Falcon Pickup was in the 1962-63 catalog and appears to be new in 1962.  The P-40 plane was introduced 1962 along with the P-38.
