Originally manufactured by the Birmingham Plane Mfg. Co. from 1885-1900 in Birmingham Conn. (now known as Derby Conn.)(the original factory location is only 12 miles away from where I live).This is the smallest size model.

The beautifully sculpted, stylized "batwing" motif is masterfully integrated into the plane bodies design, giving it an excentric, almost medieval flavor visually.
