Default I Need help indentifing this airplane HELP!

Can you Identify this airplane.....
I could really use your help! I have this airplane that I need help identifying. It is currently crated in my storage unit so these are the best pictures I have of it. It's approximately 12" by 10" in dimensions. Give or take a few. It says NEW YORK US MAIL on it and the wheels say Williams Bros. Does anyone know what type of airplane it is. Does anyone know what this is? How old? Value of the plane? It's a really cool plane but I don't have any use for it anymore. I want to sell it. I bought it at an antique auction some years back and used it for decorative reasons. I would really appreciate ANY input. I don't know a thing about airplanes so I thought I'd go to the experts. You! Thanks.

Well, the only two planes that I am aware that looked kinda like that and carried mail were Fokker F VII and the Ford Stout. My guess is a Robin Hood kit-bashed to look like a Fokker. But wait, someone will know.

I don't think that it is a Foker F.VII -- the Foker's nose was quite a bit more faired than that & it didn't have an engine cowling -- if it is supposed to be a Foker, it is not a good likeness. I don't know what a Ford Stout looks like.

It could be an interpretation of the Bellanca CH 400 Skyrocket with the "homely" chin and all! Stout designed the Ford Tri-Motor, I don't think it's a Tri-Motor.

Bellanca photographs attached.

It would seem that Ford and Stout also collaborated on The Ford Stout 2AT - but that had an inline engine and no chin.
