One of a kind 19x31-inch (canvas size) Hindenburg control car large girder section wall hanging display.
Large 12.5x5-inch dural girder with ultra-rare Zeppelin-applied transparent green preservative coating intact - unique to LZ 129 Hindenburg (LZ 130 was blue). This coating shows some 'cracking' effect from heat exposure to the fire of May 6, 1937, Lakehurst crash.
The wreckage of the Hindenburg was mostly melted for scrap. Over 150,000 pounds of frame metal went to the National Bronze and Aluminum Foundry Co. in Cleveland, Ohio, whose contract forbade the use of the metal for "ash trays, book ends or any similar articles." Thus, authentic material, especially metal, will forever remain extremely rare and difficult to find.
We have endeavored to price these pieces very reasonably, in keeping with the Cole's Aircraft goal of making history like this available to most everyone. A girder section from the Hindenburg was auctioned through Bonhams for $24,000.00, and tiny fragments of this airship often sell for well over $1000.00.
