Hi Ron,

The style of the piece is suggested by LZ 127 -- Graf Zeppelin -- though it bears the nomenclature of the Hindenburg -- LZ 129. The engine placement is also that of the Graf, not the Hindenburg. I believe I've seen a version of this piece previously; it is probably original to the 1930s and the manufacturer was simply trying to get away with re-using the silhouette of the Graf to gain additional sales, capitalizing on the fame of the Hindenburg, LZ 129. A nice souvenir!

Cheers,

Br. James
