Item TB109
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.
