Default old toy airplane

Pappy or anyone have any info on this toy airplane. Found it yesterday while hunting with my son. There are no words on it to help ID it and the style of airplane looks like 1930's or so. It is only about two and 1/4 inches long. Anyone know anything about when it was produced and by waht company?

Thanks

Funkman

thanks for the link pappy and all the replies form the others.

I checked out that link and even though there are many planes listed, I actually do not see the one I have.

Default Cool find

That would be a replica of a Ford tri motor. If you google you will find info on the real thing. I don't know anything about the toy maker tho. Wayne
