The Champion Cross Stick is a an antique toy from the 1940s that was made out of Balsa wood and with a small metal rivet at the hub. One blade set is decorated with red airplane markings. The other blade set is decorated with blue airplane markings. There is some moisture loss from the balsa wood, resulting in a small reduction in the blade thickness. This has left the rivet slightly loose. You can either tap slightly on the rivet with a hammer to tighten the rivet or use a small amount of tape to hold the interface together when the blades are expanded to form a cross. This boomerang is in new condition, but there is minor splintering of the wood on the trailing edges sof the blades. This is not damage. This is how they were made. The box is also very rigid and has cracks, ends missing, etc., but are still intact and collectable. These take a very light toss and have a very slow rotation with a range of only 5-6 metres. Limited supply.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 30 cm ; Weight = 6 gm
