Vintage Acme Plastic Toy Helicopter, Miniature Helicopter with Moveable Blades

Description

This vintage toy helicopter is made out of hard plastic. It is in the hard-to-find color -- red and purple. It is sort of marbleized, similar to celluloid. It may be celluloid or a related plastic. When you push it, the blades or rotor moves. A wire is attached to the back window so you can hang it. This wire, or a cord, was once attached to the underside of the nose.
This little plastic helicopter was made by Acme Plastics Manufacturing Co. in NY sometime around the 1950s and is marked on bottom. In marketing material, Acme says, "It moves, It runs."
Other than the repositioning of the wire, this Acme helicopter is in excellent vintage condition. Please use your zoom for a good look.
