Dont know. But the desert can hold some little treasures. I have know Idea what condition this unit is in. Most likely DOA but will see.
Thanks BoB!
Found this: http://www.timwafer.com/Tucker/1949ad.html
I am calling on it this morning. Trying to track down who actually owns it now.
Problem is there is a care taker looking after everything and he is hard as hell to get ahold of. Have someone on the ground I am paying to find this guy! We will see. The actual owners live in South Dakota. The term wild goose chase is starting to come to mind. Hell half of the adventure is getting there right?
Want to make finding him a group effort?
If you give us any info you have be in names or the address where the machine is located, some members here are great at finding people.
Right now all I have is that there is a care taker who looks after the place. If the gate is open he is there is its closed hes not. No names of either the owners or care tacker. I have a gentelman who is right next door who will contact the care taker when the gate is "Open". IE wild goose chase. I can get the names of the owners but that will see me driving there to do that. I am going to play this out with the guy next door to the Tucker. There are a few other interested parties on the forums who want this Tucker. If I cant track down the owner then its up for grabs to them. Group effort will definatley help, but I am not at that stage yet. Thanks Bczoom!
Based on some research I've done on snowplanes, from the turn of the century Russian Aerosans to the semi-modern Polaris, with Fudge, Price, and a dozen others in between that I've looked into, that one looks like a home built unit. But a lot of production snowplanes from the 1930s and 1940s are pretty low production units and look homebuilt too, so its anyone's guess. It does not look like any of the snowplanes I'm familiar with. There is a thread here where I posted links and photos of snowplanes you may want to compare your photo to some of the photos in the thread. The windshield configuration in your photo is very unusual, I'd think if you can match that up, you will find out the brand.
Thought I remembered seeing it...

Are you thinking of trading UP? They may give you $5.00 bucks for your Kristi!
That, and the nickel you get for the refund on your Snot-Master, might just cinch the deal!
