I thought I would share a small treasure I was given this weekend from the gentleman I purchased some parts for my wife's Jaguar Mark 2. He told me the storage area he has his spare parts horde used to be a well known polishing business for small items from the 1920's thru the mid 1950's. And it still had some unfinished items in it from when they closed.

In one of the bins were a few Lockheed Constellation Lapel pins with TWA logo on the wing. From what he understands they were given away to passengers. this one is unpolished, and does not have the stick pin attached to it yet. But I thought it was to nice not to share.

The glory days of air travel!
Still think the Connie/Super Constellation remain the most beautiful multi-engine aircraft ever. (Besides, Howard Hughes taught Terry Moore--not Terry Tyler Moore--to fly in a TWA Connie.)

I never flew first class back then and the props were mostly gone but I remember wearing a jacket and tie when one flew.
The airlines made me put on pants.
