Wartime 1:432 identification "pocket" models were manufactured in both plastic by Cruver and in metal by Comet Metal Products; wartime models had a small hole at the c.g. for mounting or hanging. Both types were produced after WWII for sale to the public and for use as advertising premiums; many different colors were used for these post-war versions, but they were generally made without the small hole - some, however, do have a mounting hole - the 1945 Authenticast catalog shows a variation of the 1:432 metal aircraft which are mounted on a wire extending from a small metal stand. Perhaps this hole does not go all the way through as on the wartime issues. Several of these post-war models are offered for sale below and are individually priced.
General Mills offered a group of 22 planes made by Cruver; a portion of a 1946 newspaper advertisement for these "Kix scale-model plastic planes" is shown below. Ten-cents and a Kix box top for each set! These models were generally in grey plastic.

, even though this is just a hobby for us.  We always
ship no later than the next business day, often the same day we receive payment.
What happens once the USPS gets it is out of our control, so please take this into
account when reviewing the shipping time.
We always email at each step of the process, especially once we receive payment.
We try to keep our shipping costs to a minimum; please consider that bubble mailers,
top loaders, postage, trips to the post office, ebay and paypal fees all figure
into the cost for shipping.
