#2015 Doepke Airport Set
Rumors persist that the Doepke Airport Set was
available with lettering for several different
airlines other than those shown here. If these do
indeed exist, they are extremely rare. The only
two versions I have ever seen are those shown
at right; American Airlines and TWA.
The Airport Set remained basically unchanged
through its production years from 1954 through
1956 with the only exception being the color of
the second trailer.

| The Aluminum skirts with the Airline logos are often missing from these toys. |
| The TWA version is much harder to find than the American Airlines example. |
| The second trailer came in at least three different shades of green and even in black! |
| This poor condition box nevertheless gives an idea of how these toys were packaged. |
| Notice the American Airlines decal on the illustration. |
| Here too. Does this mean all Airport Set boxes were marked with the specific airline? |
| The Model Toys decal always appeared on the seat back |
| The red paint of the Clark tractor chipped very easily. Finding a nice one is real tough. |
| The front wheels of the Clark tractor were sometimes marked with the inexplicable label, "Red Rascal." |
| The drive wheels of the Clark Tractor were marked "Model Toys Rossmoyne Ohio." |
