Vintage Box of 72 Fortune Boomerangs - 2 Colors and 2 ModelsThis item is a vintage box of dime store plastic boomerangs from the 1950s or early 1960s. There are 72 boomerangs in the box. Half of the boomerangs are four bladers and half are two bladed Vs. There are 36 of each model and half of each model is yellow and the other half is red. The four blader is often called a cross stick or quadblader. There is a plastic stress ring that runs around the perimeter of the blades to keep the boomerang in tune. This is a terrific flyer and it is right handed. You have to throw the four blader hard and it makes a nice circle with a flight range of 10-12 metres. The second model is a flared V shape. Because of decades long storage, this model is warped to give it excessive dihedral. All you have to do is bend the blades down so that the V lies flat on a table top and then it works just fine. The flared V model likes a lighter throw and more spin than the cross stick. I use these boomerangs often when working with young children at schools, churches and scouting events. Kids love them and you get a lot of boomerangs for the low starting bid. Of course, if you are a collector of vintage toys or boomerangs, you can keep this box for your collection.Obviously, you don't want to give these to really young children who will try to eat them. I would think that 5 years old is a good minimum age for children who will follow parental directions.
Span = 19 cm ; Weight = 7 gm (each) ; Range = 5-12 metres ; Age = 5+ ; Power = 5/10 ; Difficulty = 4/10 ; Right Handed Only

I am a retired Aerospace Engineer and I have been making and throwing boomerangs for more than 40 years. I can provide detailed technical information if you need help understanding why boomerangs return to the thrower. I have lots of literature that I can share with my customers. This is essential if you are doing a science project at school or advanced research on flight science. My boomerangs have been featured on CNN News, Good Morning America and in NASA publications. My boomerangs have been displayed at NASA Space Centers. I sell WORKING boomerangs to promote the sport. My product descriptions are honest about performance, durability and value. If your boomerang needs tuning or if you need to adjust your throwing style, I can help.
Please, no international shipping. I can combine shipping on multiple items to save you money. If you purchase multiple auctions, do not send payment until after I send you an invoice so I can combine shipping charges. You can also send me a message telling me which items you want and I can make a custom Buy-It-Now listing that includes only the items that you want and at shipping costs. These are the only ways that I can offer reduced shipping costs to buyers because of recent procedural changes for eBay's managed payment system. You will receive a tracking number when I ship your package. The winning bidder agrees to make contact with me within 2 days of the end of the auction and/or to make payment within 4 days. I will leave feedback after the buyer receives their item and leaves positive feedback for me. Good luck and many thanx for purchasing my eBay items.
