The German fleet World War II period Heinkle He (He111) aeroplane, hand carved and polychrome painted with the distinctive fully glazed bullet or fishbowl nose, with the black German straight-armed Balkenkreuz livery, the stylised version of the Iron Cross to the underside of the wings hailing from a British fairground.

In as found original condition, the plane has a fair amount of loss making it very evocative and charming but there are obvious parts missing like part of the tail and the propellers.

A round stall favourite, the spinner was based on the popular 19th century game, Wheel of Fortune. At the centre of the stall a long arm span horizontally around the inner perimeter of the circle and when the arm stopped the person to which its end pointed was entitled to a prize. Spinner stalls were more elaborate than those not fitted out as such, for example, on the arms were beautifully carved figures of chariots, animals, and in this case, aeroplanes or a mixed military theme.

This unique piece proves to be an utterly charming fragment of fairground memorabilia and one that would hang or mount well in a child’s bedroom or provide a refreshingly different decorative effect elsewhere.
