ARTIFACT: This is a 1940s Western Airlines five years of service lapel pin in 10 karat gold with a ruby chip. Western began in 1926 as Western Air Express and merged with Transcontinental to become TWA in 1930. At this time, a portion of the company called Western Air Transport broke away, eventually becoming General Airlines and later WAL (then simply Western Airlines). The pin is shaped like a spearhead and bears a speeding Native American man's head.

VINTAGE: Circa 1940s.

SIZE: 9/16" height and 1/2" width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: 10 karat gold with ruby chip.

ATTACHMENT: Single screw post with disc backing.

MARKINGS: 10K with maker's mark (B within a crest).

ITEM NOTES: This is from an airline company collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. RDEV7/93 LABJX9/10 TrABJX7/14

CONDITION: 8+ (Excellent): Pin has very light tarnish and wear.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
