Vintage Heinimex Hanging Folk Art Hot Air Balloon Basket Sandbags & Four People

Description

This is for a large 3D hanging Hot Air Balloon with basket, sandbags and 4 people. It's in very nice vintage condition with no chips, cracks or repairs.  The wire frame around the balloon holds the ropes that hold the basket.   There's a hook at top for hanging the balloon. The balloon has a vintage folk art look with an antique painted finish of red and white.  It measures approximately 16 " long (to the top of the hook) and 7 1/4" at widest part.  The balloon is about 7 1/4" wide by 8 1/2" tall.  The basket is 2 1/2" high x 2 3/4" wide. The balloon is smooth and light.  It looks & feels like a gourd but it could be wood.  The woven basket is painted and lacquered so it is light but strong and in good condition.
