APPRAISER: Hi, guys.

Thanks an awful lot for bringing your airplane into the ROADSHOW today.

GUEST 1: You're welcome.

APPRAISER: After the war, the Japanese developed a very nice toy industry, and, uh, they made an awful lot of battery toys, which is what your plane is, uh, powered by.

So, uh, you've tried it out.

How's-- does it run okay?

GUEST 1: It runs perfect.

APPRAISER: It was your dad's?

GUEST 1: It was my dad's, when he was a little boy.

APPRAISER: Okay.

Well, he took pretty good care of it.

Let's take a look here, uh... I wanted to show you where the company name was.

That stands for a toy company.

The name was Yone-- Y-O-N-E.

But these are called tin toys.

And battery-operated, like I said.

And your airplane does all kinds of stuff... so it's... APPRAISER: ...it's actually got three batteries in here.

GUEST 1: Three batteries, right.

APPRAISER: So, your typical airplane would be probably half the size of this, uh, much less in the way of detailing.

Those kind of airplanes from the same time period, oh, probably'd be $50 to $100.

But you've got the super-duper model, which does all kind of things, which we're gonna see in a second.

So really, this airplane's about a $300 airplane today, in real nice shape.

GUEST 1: Wow.

APPRAISER: All right, well, why don't we see what this does?

GUEST 1: Turn on the switch.

APPRAISER: Yeah, see what-- see what it does there, William.

(plane whirring) Here goes the stewardess.

All right, ready for takeoff.

(whirring) Closing the door.

GUEST 1: Closing the door.

APPRAISER: Here go our lights, there go our propellers.

(whirring) GUEST 2: It's going the wrong way.

GUEST 1: Yeah... APPRAISER: There they go, all four of them.

GUEST 1: All four of them are going.

(whirring) GUEST 2: And it starts to move... APPRAISER: Okay, there we go.

Goes even faster, probably, if it wouldn't be on the rug.

(whirring)
