PLEASE NOTE: We are BOTH IN THE OFFICE as of MONDAY 06/09,
BUT this is somewhat Temporary,
So we will be keeping the Yellow Notification up through EARLY JULY!!
As we will be doing 4 shows over the next 3 weekends, and I will be on then road with most of our Military Artifacts from 6/18 to as late as 7/04 so there could be delays in shipping!!
Update 06/09/25: WE ARE still EXPERIENCING SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH non-PayPal CREDIT CARD PURCHASES!!
We Hope to FINALLY Have this Issue CORRECTED by July or August!!
If you would like to PAY for an Artifact with a CREDIT CARD, please email and I will get an invoice emailed to you ASAP!
We are HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR ORDERS during this time, and we will promptly SHIP MOST orders within ONE Business Day of Receipt of Payment!
And, as always, if you would like to fund your $100.00+ order through a Bank that offers ZELLE, ASK ABOUT our ZELLE DISCOUNT!!
That DISCOUNT also applies to PayPal GIFT (Fee-Free), Check, and Money Order payments!!
Thank you for visiting. We hope you will find some vintage artifacts here on our site to add to your collection.
We look forward to serving your collecting needs, Ron & Kanae
ARTIFACT:
This is a sterling World War II Civil Aeronautics Administration CAA WTS War Training Service pilot instructor's wing. In the center of the wing is the head of an American Indian facing right, basically the same image as the US 5 cent "Indian Head Nickel" of the pre-WWII period. This was part of The Civilian Pilot Training Program CPTP as a flight training program from circa 1938-1944 sponsored by the United States government with the stated purpose of increasing the number of civilian pilots.
VINTAGE:
Circa WWII, 1943 - 1944.
SIZE:
Approximately: 3/4" in height x 3" in length.
MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION:
Sterling silver.
ATTACHMENT:
Horizontal pin with come-under locking catch.
MARKINGS:
PAT. PEND.
STERLING
ITEM NOTES:
This is from a Air Force Wing collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MFJX17 LBIEX8/17 SLCIEX01/25/25
CONDITION:
7- (Fine+): Some tarnish, but great patina. Left wing tip (as viewed) is slightly tweaked, so lower grade and lower price. Might get a jeweler to straighten this if no one jumps on the bargain. :)
GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
