What would they have towed it with ?

Loening K-84W Commuter, CAA registry NC374V.
SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:
Gerry Asher Thank you again for your helpful information! Based on what we were able to find, this model aircraft is a Keystone-Loening K-84 Commuter, first manufactured in 1929. Keystone-Loening was bought out by Curtiss-Wright and became one of their divisions in 1931, but stopped manufacturing altogether in 1932. This particular aircraft is still in existence, and has been listed as being housed at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks again for all your help in identifying these aircraft!

Dear SDASM staff: these are spectacular images of a wonderful design, mostly unknown, with great appeal for the lovers of the off-the-beaten-path airplanes. Thanks very much for posting them. I really like this plane and until now had almost nothing on it. Great material, thanks, once again, for your work of love. Its positive impact in the aviation community is much appreciated.
