1930s biplane with W shape wing?

Hi all, spotted this on eBay- not interested in buying it and I’m not selling it- what’s driving me potty is the shape is ringing bells- can anyone identify the type of machines- Eastern European? It’s dated 1937

The closest I can suggest – but it’s not a biplane – is the Lithuanian Dobi-III.

“aliminum & persepex plane aeoroplane” With such a description it could be almost anything. :love-struck::love-struck:

John, if you don’t recognise it it doesn’t exist (and I should take more water with it!) Thank you! ATB TT

I agree with longshot. It is quite unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

I agree with Longshot. However there is a vague resemblance to the Zanoia shaped wings of the 1913 Handley Page biplane.

I would say it’s not based on any real aeroplane , just a period toy
