    his is the RAREST Ashtray Desk Model I may ever offer!!
    Here is an
    A C Rehberger (Chicago) Boeing B-314 China Clipper Ashtray Model
    -
    COMPLETE!!!
    These were originally commissioned by Boeing Aircraft after the successes Boeing enjoyed with the line of A C Rehberger Boeing 247 Models.
    Dimensions: Model 8-1/2 x 6",  Height to Top of Wing x 4", Diameter of Base 5"
    Details: Model has gone through a 5 year Restoration
    1)
    Complete assembly was nickel plated in March 2021
    2) Props are correct size and are laser-cut steel. They can bend but will not break!
    3) Props are shafts are removable for safe packing and shipping.
    4) The model will be delivered off the stand for safe packing and shipping.
    5) A new felt covered base pad is provided.
    6) The ashtray insert is original to this particular model (Award)
    7) Two fins were replaced in 2017
    8) The item is "named" for Earl L. Smith (erroneously listed as Earl "A" Smith, a famous typo). Earl was a famous high-time pilot for various airlines is the 1920's-1940's and ended his career as an air accident investigator for the National Transportation Authority. This was an award given while wrapping up his career with that government agency.
    This is a one-of-a-kind rare ashtray with provenance of a historical aviation figure
    Please feel free to ask any questions. As the restorer of this model, I know it intimately.
    I will provide the best museum style packaging to ship this rare artifact. Costs will include packaging as well as shipping via FEDEX Ground to the lower 48 states.
    There is only ONE. Don't wait another 20 years for next to show UP!!
