Hello guys!

Can anyone tell me what's this?
I have this for years, but i don't know that it is? I don't want to sell it (my collection) but it is a kind of outsider toys...Does it worth something?
thanks

It's a bird! - It's a plane! - It's Superm-...! - No, it is a plane!

To be more exact: it's a Pan Am Boeing B377 "Stratocruiser". It seems to be from GAMA (West-Germany), no. 1000 from the 1950s.

PS: Is it really necessary to watermark so boldly across the whole picture?

Hi,
this plane is made by GAMA (Georg Adam Mangold) in Fürth close to Nürnberg.
The factory made tintoys between 1950 and 1975.
There should be a sign on the nose of the plane.
Here is another one.

Apparently the model also came with a set of air stairs
