Box 5 - The flea market PT-19

I have never had much interest in these PT-19's, but this one sent me to Mr. Google and some research.

Found a very interesting circa 2017 thread right here on the CEF.  But I was mainly interested in discovering when or if they were produced in China.  I never pinned that down but this was pretty complete.




From this I gather that my first PT-19 is an earlier version, and the Flea Market one is the later.......Definitely maybe!

I have the box somewhat repaired.  Duct tape from the inside and a little Elmer's white glue.  Not my best job.  I glued the worst end and left the best end open.  I cleaned the dirty/dusty box with diluted household Simple Green, let it dry well then sprayed it with Johnson's Pledge.  Brightens things up.

Googling I found that Cox boxed these many different ways, most can be found displayed open so you can see how things were arranged.  But not this one.  The fuselage and wing are an easy ID but nothing else is.  I would like to know how the engine and accessories were packed.  Anyone have a picture of this particular boxing?  





Oh by the way -never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never ever.............. boil a horseshoe engine.



But.....................I have an excuse.

Mine has a Made/Printed in USA on the box in 1994.



You have my admiration for not opening that box.

No way could I resist the urge, only if I had another identical one in an open box.

Yes, A/F crock pot boil.

Dropped it in a cold pot, turned the heat to high with the intent to remove it after fifteen minutes.  Got involved with something else and forgot about if for a hour or so.  

Terrible stuff to remove.  The reed side expanded within the case along with the e-clip.  I had to heat it with the heat gun and pull the stuff out with pliers.  No harm done other than to my ego.

I have at least ten other horse shoe engines in colors, the majority being the white that came out of the PT-19.  The vacant front ends will receive the badly anodized 8 cc tanks I got from Cox Int.

PS........

Anyone have a picture of that particular boxing?

Is this picture of any help?

Yes!

The cover art is somewhat different and the tail section cardboard flap on mine doesn't allow the tail of the fuselage to go in as deep, and the front of mine is secured by a wire tie.

But it answers the question, where does the engine fit?.....So that is what the little "finger hole" is for on one side of the box. Thanks, that was my major concern.

And yes....Does that box say where it was made?
