Enter today. Because there is no box and the stamp of the manufacturer is illegible, I can make little cheese out of it. Maybe someone knows? I have searched for hours on the internet with various text entries, but nothing woody comes forward in terms of Schiphol.

Harry56  Have you already tried an Image search? maybe that will help.

How did it actually come into your possession?...could it be that it is not an official product (perhaps made by someone at a hobby workshop) and that is why nothing can be found about it is?

Catacrumpie thanks for your response. I've never tried Image Search so let's see how it works.

For a hobby workshop this seems very complex to me. But it really cannot be ruled out. Have now approached toy museum Deventer, perhaps a lamp will light there ...  The seller sold it on behalf of his uncle, who had played with it in his youth. Didn't know anything else about it, unfortunately, than that the original wooden connecting pins have largely been replaced by plastic plugs.

Harry56  Hope they can mean something there in Deventer.. I've become curious myself now... I've been doing some searching myself but haven't even found anything that even remotely resembled it.. Good luck with the scavenger hunt.

Useful in itself to see how that image search works. I've used all 4 photos and then different photos come up every time. But no "hit" yet. As soon as I know something more I will check the Forum again.

#9168977 I have now adjusted. I received information from the toy museum that Schiphol is one of the last productions of a very old toy manufacturer from Waddinxveen. Active  from 1780 to 1980.

HaHa, yes the expert from Deventer was right anyway, but later saw that a similar vehicle was offered on the marketplace. as you have already seen. May or may I not post a link to explanations about the old toy factory? Pretty interesting.

Harry56 I can't think of why that shouldn't be allowed, after all it seems to me (also) a piece of collecting history... but yes I'm just an average user.

This is about an exhibition in 2003 about that old Dutch toy manufacturer. And what they used to make, there are some photos, that was a craftsmanship.

Harry56 Thanks for the link, very nice to watch, too bad that nobody has responded (yet) except me. If it's not about Stamps (and books and comics), it's apparently not interesting enough ;)

I liked it and followed it a bit. But I really don't know anything about it so I won't say anything about it.
And I'm not going to be allowed to play with it anyway :)

In the early morning I am pleased to see humorous and relativizing words again. I have the hope that the Forum will regain some life as many years ago (hear me now with my gray hair...). Especially chapeau for the activity in the stamps, although it is not my collecting area, stamps are often beautiful to look at and the catalog looks rich and beautifully filled. There are also lessons to be learned from the discussions regarding other categories. I also noticed that there is little movement, for example a question about a series of Tintin double albums that an ECI label? have been given  and distributed by Mondria and/or Panda/Matla? was answered quickly 10 years ago. Anyway, it's still vacation time and it can still come ... And finally Raoul can (with very exception because I'm careful with my stuff) come and play with Schiphol Airport, that's really sturdy enough a hot stamp and cigar band man to resist.

Harry56  In itself I have nothing at all against the activity in the Stamp Forum but it is just striking that Subforum is used much more "dominant" compared to others.... I don't want to offend anyone but if I sometimes read the messages, then I see characters before me, as they stand on the Balustrade with the Muppets ;)

Damn, doesn't fit... Waldorf was a lot smaller than Statler. There is still a vacancy according to this.

It is the intention that we stay on topic, although such a primitive wooden version of Schiphol probably seems a bit boring. According to Crazy Harry, probably not as well known as Messrs Waldorf and Statler.
