This right handed traditional boomerang was made out of 6 mm 10 ply Baltic Birch plywood by Günter Veit for Max Hoeben and Tonny van der Gyp in 1978. Signed (twice) and dated (see photo below). It is a very good flyer with a flight range of 35+ metres. Printed on the underside is the message " Ooldea - Like Bloody Bastard Für Max and Tonnie ; Many Happy Returns ; von ihrem dankbaren Schüler ". The upper surface is painted with Dutch colors for Max and Tonny. Very good condition with light wear and a few rough spots on edges from manufacturing.
Günter Veit is a lawyer in Germany who was very active in the formation of the German Boomerang Club in the 1970s and early 1980s. Günter also made very nice Birch plywood boomerangs and he wrote a book that helped promote boomerang throwing in Germany. Günter has not been active in the boomerang community for the past 2 decades, making his boomerangs very collectible. |
