The first is a Ford Tri-Motor, 7mm long with a 6.5mm wingspan.  Red paint

black and silver wheels and green propellors.  There's no manufacturer's
stamp, but there is a stylized pair of wings along the top of the wingspan.
The second is a double-decker bus, green with red wheels, 8mm long by 2.5mm
wide.  The side windows are cut out.  As above, no manufacturer's stamp, but
it looks like the same factory.
Both are fairly heavy, cast metal, and complete, with a minimum of missing
paint.
