Very Rare 1920s Los Angeles Examiner Eddie Rickenbacker Club Member Wing

This is a very rare 1920s Los Angeles Examiner member wing for the Eddie Rickenbacker Club. Rickenbacker was the leading United States ace of World War I and a Medal of Honor recipient, serving with the 94th Aero Squadron air combat unit. Originally membership was extended to the Examiner carriers and corner boys, but then after great success was then offered to any child in Los Angeles interested in aviation.

Circa 1920s.

Approximately 1" in height and 3-1/2" in width.

Nickel-plated brass.

Horizontal safety-style pin with saddle.

None.

This is from a civil aviation collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBHL98 LBIEX7/12

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The wing has some very light wear and tarnish.

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