Description:
Ala (Italian for: wing) is the Italian licensed production of the Hermes Baby. Licensee was the SocietĂ Industriale Meccanica (S.I.M.).
Here we see a very early specimen. Later the line developed in the SIMTYPE Baby and Montana, all still based on the Hermes Baby.
Still need to fix the drawband, so no type sample for now.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Ala Ala on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Ala Serial Number page and the Ala Ala By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
