Very nice example of a Riffe Models aluminum Trans World Airlines L-1049G Super Constellation ashtray. The ashtray model was made in Shawnee Mission, Kansas by Riffe Models and is marked as such on under the base. These ashtrays were usually used as promotional pieces, or were gifted to employees for their service with the airline. Constructed of aluminum, the model's fuselage is painted and decaled to represent a TWA Super Constellation with signature white paint and red stripes complimented by the TWA logo. N-Number "N8650" and "TWA" decals applied to each wing. Tail appropriately marked "Super-G". All 4 clear plastic simulated propellers are in place. The plane measures approximately 8" tall with 10" wingspan. Paint has yellowed, with areas of cracks and chips. Decals remain legible. Scattered blemishes throughout with evident corrosion. Slight wobble.
Condition: (Good).
Item Dimensions: 9" x 10" x 7".
