The wing is an early one for CCA, as the company was founded in 1947 but did not start flying until 1949. The carrier went out of business in 1954. The wing has a shield at center bearing the letters CCA, and was obviously styled upon the Civil Air Transport Command wings of World War II.

VINTAGE: Circa 1950.

SIZE: Approximately 1-1/16" in height and 3-9/16" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Sterling silver.

ATTACHMENT: Three posts with clutch backs.

MARKINGS: L.G.B. (Balfour maker mark) STERLING.

ITEM NOTES: This is from an airline collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MDJJX13 LABGEX5/13 SHEJX12/13

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The wing has some small spots of light wear and tarnish.

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