ARTIFACT:
This is a fabulous, heavy and huge Western Airlines plaque in bronze with a lovely patination. Reportedly these plaques were given to high-ranking company employees upon their retirement. The plaque has a three-dimensional Indian head design against a textured arrowhead, and an arrow that extends in both directions past the edges of the plaque. The plaque is numbered on reverse, and has a blank space on the front for engraving. This plaque weighs fourteen pounds, and the expensive cost of shipping it is reflected in the item price.

Circa late 1950s - early 1960s.
SIZE:
Approximately 16-1/2" in width and 13" in height and 1-1/4" in depth.
