I found it interesting that the Beechcraft Bonanza, with its distinctive 'V' tail, has not only been in production since 1947, but has been in continuous production longer than any other airplane with production ceasing probably this year once all orders have been filled! Marx made this small hard plastic version as most likely a bin toy as I could find no mention of it being in sets. Marx also made a soft plastic version for their iconic Jetport playset from 1961 and it's actually a much better rendition than this hard plastic version. This one measures 3.75" (9,52cm) L x 4" (10,16cm) wingspan x 1" (2,54cm) H and is a relatively recent acquisition - no Cave find today folks.
