Circa 1970's Western Airlines Hat Badge

This is a 1970's hat badge for Western Airlines, which began in 1926 as Western Air Express and later 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 badge is a wing with Western's "Flying W" logo at center.

Circa 1970's.

1-5/8" height and 2-1/16" width.

Plated brass.

Two screw posts.

This is from an airline company collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VDGX03 LAGEX9/10 SeVBBJX11/18

7 (Very Fine): Badge shows moderate wear and tarnish.

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