A Dif-e-Yo Zzzip-Fly prototype made by master machinist Frank Difeo of New Hampshire, USA.
From Frank:
"The raw collector Zzzip-Fly is a prototype. Not very different than the Player or Collector models that were released. But, you'll notice the outer rims on this one have more of a radius. So, it's unique and 1 of only 4 I made like that."
Zzzip-Flies were started in 2002, but not finished until 2005 due to Frank making so many Player models. So, it is likely that this prototype model was made in 2002.
See also Zzzip-Fly -F, Zzzip-Fly Collector, and Zzzip-Fly "Limited".
Frank P. Difeo, 71, of Bradford, MA, passed away unexpectedly at Massachusetts General Hospital on Sunday, March 3, 2024. | |
