You will probably find it t Check out my other items ! ************************************************ DESCRIPTION ************************************************ This is a 1920s Swallow Airplane Company employee ID badge with a number of 126. Swallow was started by a man named Matty Laird in 1920 in Wichita, Kansas and three years later sold it to Walter Beech and Lloyd Stearman. The rest is history. Good story. Look it up on the Internet. It is 1 3/4" in diameter and is made of steel with a Celluloid cover. The Celluloid cover and the paper below it are considerably stained and cracked. These are somewhat rare and hard to find from the early days of aviation. The last one I had was in worse condition than this one. See pics. Attachment on the rear is of the early and crude safety pin type with bent wire catch. THANKS !!!!! Shipping & Payment Shipping weight of the package is 2 ounces from the 67213 Zip Code.
