The only fully-restored 1929 Hamilton Metalplane H-47 in existence auctioned with no reserve at Barrett-Jackson, last weekend.
Described by Barret-Jackson as one of the rarest and most beautifully restored classic aircraft in the world, the H-47 - serial number 65 - is number 22 of only 29 built and the only airworthy example in existence.
