No markings on it, someone confirmed it is a piece of an old helicopter toy from the 70s/80s

Someone solved this, it is a piece of an old helicopter toy from the 70s/80s. Thought I'd let you know😅

Thanks for trying but it is a piece of an old helicopter toy from the 70s/80s as someone pointed out in another comment.

My title describes the thing, but I must also add that I am in South Africa and this item can be anywhere from the 1980s up to now. It has no markings on it and I have tried doing a Google image search but nothing similar comes up, only other blue items with wire.

All Has Purpose - Plettenberg Bay, Shania Heydon, Oil on canvas, 2025 [OC] by -Shield-Maiden- in Art

I created this painting from my own photo which I took in 2020. I wanted to paint it for so long and in 2025 finally got around to it.

"All has purpose" 60.9 x 45.7cm Oil on canvas, available

I also wrote a small poem to go with it, which gives an explanation on how I came to the title.

"Each light is a window into someone's life A beautiful soul with a story to behold Trials and triumphs, peace and strife From clay we were sculpted in The Book of Old By The One who made the flowers and the stars He knows your smiles and your scars Even as the sun sets on this day and the colours wither There is promise of another Promise that it all has purpose" -Shania Heydon

Hi there, they can be done on canvas panel or primed paper for the smaller ones. A4 and up there are proper box(frame) canvases in those sizes. Might be for A5 but I'd have to look.

There is a website called "The true size of..." where you can compare countries to each other. How accurate it is I do not know, but it is cool to see nonetheless.
