All Piccolos 15% Off with Free Shipping!! Our 20 th Anniversary Catalog Nr. 104 MASERATI Tipo 61 “Birdcage” Aw come on.., what is there left to say about this, the Maser Birdcage? With little doubt, this is the single most desirable race car ever made! Only sixteen of these lovely cars, penned by Giulio Alfieri, were ever made. Most of the mechanicals were sourced from the retired racers; the 2.9 liter engine was derived from the 250 S and the suspension was very similar to that of the 250 F. The chassis was all new and a marvel of engineering excellence. Made up of around 200 separate small diameter tubes the space-frame construction was both light and rigid. After the intricate assembly of tubes, some of which was visible through the windshield, it was quickly nick-named 'Birdcage'. Another novelty for Maserati was the fitting of disc brakes all around. Alfieri mounted the engine behind the front axle for a better weight distribution, and to reduce the frontal area it was canted 45º. The aluminum body was constructed by Gentilini and Allegretti and wrapped as tightly over the mechanicals as possible to improve the aerodynamics. This 'Birdcage' was officially known as the Tipo 61. Particularly popular in the United States, the customer racer finally brought the well deserved racing success to Maserati. In 1960 and 1961 there was no stopping the likes of Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall and Roger Penske. Proving the car's superb handling, Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney piloted a HUGE 1:12 Scale Camoradi entered Tipo 61 to the overall victory in the 1960 Nürburgring 1000 km race. This model, built by MiniChamps of Germany, is a great example of model making. It’s just right! And the size does matter, since you don’t need glasses to feast on all the features! 12 ½” long, 5” wide, the tire’s have a 2 3⁄8” Ø. Bonnet and trunk lid opens. And the view is astounding! (We also have the smaller 1:18 scale version on next page).

Lots of single, collector items that you shouldn’t dawdle over. So take a peek and act quickly, before those antiques are all gone! Have fun, spend much, and thanks.

For airliners they chose 1:200 scale, which is nice because you can truly see how those birds grew, incrementally, as the technology and passenger count steadily grew, without cluttering your space too badly. I mean, when you realize that the fuselage of a DC-2 is about as large as the tail engine nacelle of a DC-10, you get the drift… Despite the diminutive size of some of these, the amount of detail is fabulous. But then, that’s our job, to sort it all out for you! The Fighter planes are all 1:72 scale, which demonstrates a similar growth in aircraft size. No wonder old aircraft carriers had to be retired! You’ll marvel at these models!

Beautiful models of a glorious past, when we weren’t jammed like sardines in a can; when air travel was still something real special. Douglas DC-3 Dakota Limited Edition This fabulous and venerable aircraft certainly belongs in the pantheon of all-time greats! Thousands were produced from the end of WWII well into the 1950’s, used by civilian, military, dope-smugglers, and private. Utterly reliable, you could fly and land them damned near anywhere. I even got some hours in on N-74 out of Oakland… This model is truly magnificent, in that it’s made entirely of aluminum, with etched metal sheets and rivets. Has extreme engine details, props, windows and landing gear. 25 ½” length, 38 ½” wingspan AP455 $599.50 Junkers JU52 “Iron Annie” One of the most famous German transport of the war. Built of corrugated metal skin. Served as an airliner for many nations. It served as a mail carrier in China, and, fitted with floats, hauled lumber in remote places in Canada. Its most common work, however, was done with the German Lufthansa. Equipped with luxuries like typewriters and oxygen masks, the JU52 could fly from Berlin to Rome in eight hours over the Alps, an impressive feat for contemporary aircraft, let alone an airliner. In World War II, the JU52 served in every theater in which Germany participated. Some civilian JU52s are still flying in Switzerland and South America! This model is made with flat and corrugated metal sheet over a lightweight frame. Has a fully detailed cockpit and passenger cabin. 38 1⁄2” wingspan, 26 1⁄2” long AP454 $549.50 2 Order Online: www.LiLMoCo.com All Aluminum Crafted Beauties Ford TriMotor Goose Designed by William B. Stout. In 1925, Ford bought Stout and his Junkers influenced aircraft designs. Ford adapted the single-engined Stout with three Wright (later, more powerful Pratt & Whitney) air-cooled radials. The Tin Goose was constructed of aluminum, corrugated for extra strength. Even the control surfaces were made of the same materials. The control wires for the elevator and rudder were strung along the external surface. Similarly, engine gauges were mounted externally, on the engine pods, to be monitored by the pilot by looking through the windscreens! A total of 199 TriMotors were built between 1926-33, and more than 100 airlines of the world flew ‘em. On 27-28 November 1929, Admiral Richard E. Byrd and his crew made the first flight over the South Pole in a Tin Goose named the Floyd Bennett. As of 2007, there are still 18 in existence, of which five are still flying!

They had developed a new form of die-casting metal, that allowed them to make the models a lot lighter in physical weight, at the same time refining the details another big notch. (I’ve had arguments with a variety of customers that claimed the stuff was made of plastic. In exasperation, I challenged them to light their Zippo and see if it would melt… Of course it didn’t.) They also do the most fabulous paint jobs.

The car with the racing number DM124, was offered at “Leggenda e Passione,” an auction that took place in Maranello, Italy in May 2009. The bidding went as high as 9.02 million Euros, and the car changed hands…. Wow!

Starting with the Trossi Black Prince back a decade ago, which won them the Model of the Year prize, till today with many more exquisite models, virtually all of them have won the top prizes each year—with each new model being more fantastic and detailed than the last. There are no finer, manufactured, or for that matter hand-built cars, in these scales made.., Period! At the point where CMC exceeded 1000 individual parts per car, in such a small scale, our minds were blown. In their Fangio’s 1957 Maserati 250 F, the tail-cone has 301 individually hand-set rivets, partly with washers, alone… Jeez, what next?! The only problem with this constant striving for perfection, naturally, is that production suffers. It takes three months to train “mechanics” at the factory, and the factory is only so big. Let it be said, there won’t be buyer’s remorse on any car—we guarantee it.

It was powered by a 3.3 liter inline, twin overhead cam, 8-cylinder, supercharged engine, pumping out over 200 hp.

All share the same running gear: simple open-wheeled racing die-cast components, tires, rubber bumper, clockwork and so forth! Done in the die-cast-making process, many small and intricate shapes can be made fairly rapidly and with great accuracy. The basic metal component is zinc. All Lilliput Micro-Racer castings are hand-trimmed, burnished, pickled, and then primed and painted with automotive paints to the RAL color standards. One of the great Schuco innovations was that you could “freewheel” the Micro-Racers with the spring wound or unwound, without damage to the gears or mainspring, rolling it forward or backwards! The name “Micro” came not from the diminutive size of the cars (1:45 scale), but rather from the microthreaded steering adjustment, usually the tailpipe of the car. This meant, that so long as the tires were round, one could set hairpin-sharp courses. The whole key to these little marvels was that they were: tiny, heavy, and had steel mainsprings. Couple that with sticky, fat rubber tires for directional stability, and you could go screaming across your parquet floors at speeds (actual) up to 35mph! And so that Mother wouldn’t yell at us when they hit the furniture, all Micro’s were equipped with rubber bumpers on their noses.

They’ve taken this ancient Egyptian principle to new, highly aesthetic and whimsical heights, with their beautiful machine work and choices of metals; highly polished brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. How it works: the Stirling engine is a closed cycle, it contains a fixed mass of gas called the “working fluid,” most commonly air. In normal operation, the engine is sealed and no gas enters or leaves the engine. No valves are required, unlike other types of piston engines. The Stirling engine, like most heat engines, cycles through four main processes: cooling, compression, heating and expansion. This is accomplished by moving the gas back and forth between hot and cold heat exchangers. The hot heat exchanger is in thermal contact with an external heat source, such as a fuel burner, and the cold heat exchanger being in thermal contact with an external heat sink, such as air fins. A change in gas temperature will cause a corresponding change in gas pressure, while the motion of the piston causes the gas to be alternately expanded and compressed. 32 Hot Air Engine HB-25 We were lucky to be the only outfit to get this, the newest single, from Böhm. Of course the whole layout could be much more compact and linear, but that wouldn’t be any fun to observe. That’s why everything is done a little more extravagantly, with the overhead rocker arms and precision crankshaft. Beautifully realized in highly finished and polished metals. Fully ball-bearinged. Runs up to 30 minutes, at up to 2,500 rpm. Mounted on black lacquered beech wood base. 6” x 4” x 6” tall BHB25 $349.50 Order Online: www.LiLMoCo.com Male Lion Proudly gazing lion, that’s hand-painted, cast bronze.

Boy there is really a lot going on when this baby is running.

HB14 $509.50 Böhm A1 AutoStirling Limited Edition Hermann just couldn’t help himself, and had to build a functional automobile around one of his Stirling engines… And what a splendid car it is! Using his Model HB11 engine, he built this old-time three-wheeler around it. The steering works, of course, and then there are three-speeds. Hermann suggests Slow for tabletop driving, and the other two speeds for running on the floor. As exquisitely made as all of his work, with highly polished aluminum, cmc-turned brass components, that he left unpolished for contrast. Nice rubber tyres to grip the road, and even a trailer hitch, for the next item he’ll make: yup, a trailer. Hermann’s plan is to come out with a whole series of Stirling-powered autos as time goes on. We can’t wait to have some races.

After all, you already know that Davosa was founded in the Swiss Jura (the birthplace of Swiss watch-making) in 1861, by Frédéric Hasler, and the enterprise has been in the family ever since. These magnificent timepieces are as good as anything made in Switzerland. I don’t care how good you might think TagHeuer or Breitling or Ebel or Omega or all the other brands are; they’re no better than Davosa… The difference is, that you get to pay the heavy price of glossy magazine and TV advertising, that makes you know those names. Davosa doesn’t do that, or sponsor expensive tennis championships, yacht races, or the like. You benefit, by getting the highest quality Swiss workmanship, at prices that are realistic. In other words: you actually get what you pay for. We call this the Preis-Leistungs Verhältniss. (Cost-Value Relationship). Ask any fancy store that sells quality watches, what the actual movements in these fancy brands are, and nine times out of ten, at least, it’ll be an ETA movement, if it’s Swiss! And don’t forget, each Davosa timepiece is warranted for two full years! So there you have it. Feel good about whipping out your checkbook.

They’re the largest and best maker of harps and have built millions of ‘em. Hohner continually works with top professional players on these instruments, changing, refining, and even producing whole new sounds, to suit musical needs. It’s clear why so many harmonica players, young, old and most virtuoso performers choose Hohner. The Bob Dylan Signature Series Harp Hohner’s collaboration with Bob Dylan naturally lead to the development of a next-generation harmonica. “This new harmonica has an enhanced sonic versatility and produces both uncharacteristically warm tones while also achieving a brilliance or ‘brightness’ that allows musicians to more freely express themselves,” stated Scott Emmerman, of Hohner. “It was not easy to achieve the standard that Bob Dylan represents. Among other things, we gold-plated the reed plate in order to achieve the specific sonic requirements.” It features custom coverplates bearing Dylan’s signature, a carrying case embossed with Dylan’s “Eye” logo, and an outer gift box featuring an exclusive picture of Dylan in the inside cover. 4 1⁄8” x 1 1⁄8” HHM589016 $159.50 40 Double Puck Very interesting double harp.

We had ‘em in our San Francisco store. Over time it became increasingly difficult to find them. A pallet full in Latvia, a couple of cases in Kiev, and so on. Recently a contact in Germany actually had ordered a whole bunch made new. Well, he sent the money, but got stiffed on the goods: no sewing machines! Frustrated, since we still have back-orders from 2 years ago, I happened to chat with an old Eastern Bloc hand who deals in Russian goods, and guess what! He had just driven there pulling a trailer and brought back a modest bunch. We took ‘em all! These machines really sew! Sew well, with a chain stitch. Use a nr. 9 needle. All cast metal with classic gold trim, a large hand wheel with crank, mounted in a wooden base with bobbin compartment. A great and welcome find.

Shoot across the room against any smooth surface, and the dart will stick with a satisfying thwunk… Better than any cheesy plastic dart gun I had as a kid, making this P-38 that much more desirable.

The power plant is a wind-up spiral-spring affair, with visible down-gearing to the propeller. It takes more than 100 painstaking steps to construct one of these stunningly beautiful, historical airplanes. This Limited Edition of 2500 pieces was made in 2001. There are damned few to be had! Made in Germany! The bird measures: 14” wingspan, 11” from spinner to tail Comes complete with box, booklet, and certificate of authenticity.

THE INSECT ART of T.J.McDERMOTT Trained as a wooden boat builder in Maine, he ran his own boatbuilding shop in Yarmouth Maine for ten years. Then he started carving name-boards for boats, and name-boards soon became its own business, as TJ began carving signs, nationally and internationally, for townships, municipal buildings, and specialty retailers. At some point TJ got his snoot full of having to deal with typically egotistical art directors, on the carved signage, and focused his work on creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Weathervanes, sculptures in wood, stone, multi media, and yes, Bugs! He started an art gallery in Portland, Maine, as a way to gain more exposure for his work. But back to the bugs! As he was cleaning up his studio one day, he found some desiccated insects among the sawdust, and a beetle caught his eye: the colors were fantastic, and so he was off and running. Hooked up with a insect-specimen seller in the Philippines, whom he would send 50 bucks, and would get back these gorgeous, dried, and carefully wrapped beetles, dragonflies, grasshoppers, et al., usually destined for entomological researchers and collectors. He found, with experimentation, that if he rehydrated the bugs, he could gently move their legs, wings, and whatever other extremities, into various positions. He would then pin them in these new positions to a board, until they were completely dry again.., and voilà, the art presented itself. Not only are the compositions stunning, the bugs are even more so! Who would’ve believed the fantastic color array? Who has ever seen a grasshopper’s wing, to discern the delicate and subtle colorations? These compositions are done with a sense of humor, by having bugs, surrounding a stone, or other object, and seemingly either protecting or scrambling for it. Please note that each piece is a one-ofa-kind piece, and when TJ makes a duplicate, the stones don’t always, by necessity, match the one we’ve photographed… Investments in Fine Mechanical Art...
