Early to Mid-1960s Continental Airlines Ground Crew Cap with Logo & Period IAM Union Cell

This is a great circa early to mid-1960s Continental Airlines ground crew cap with an attached period IAM (International Association of Machinists) Union celluloid badge and a nice boldly patterned eagle logo on the front. This cap may have been worn by a CASI (Continental Air Service Inc.) employee: CASI was begun in 1965 as a line strictly for United States governmental business in southeast Asia.

Circa early to mid-1960s.

Approximate size 7-3/8 or larger.

Cotton sateen/nylon blend, celluloid-wrapped tin, fully embroidered patch in cotton/polyester threads.

Pin with loop catch on cell.

Union marks on cell; tag in cap removed.

This is from an airline collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay03/26/20 VAJX12 LAFEX12/12
