Couldn't load pickup availability
A characterful and compact mid-20th-century cast brass model of a Supermarine Spitfire, mounted on its original starburst base and stamped BRITISH MADE beneath. The stylised form, wartime-era casting and distinctive eight-point base all suggest a 1940s patriotic or trench-art–inspired piece, likely produced as a small desk ornament or commemorative token.
The aircraft is solid cast brass with a lovely mellow, aged patina and a freely turning propeller. A charming, authentic object with the unmistakable silhouette of one of Britain’s most iconic fighter aircraft.
