Alaska Airlines

I’ve been collecting “kiddie wings”, the metal or plastic wings given to children on airline flights, for over a decade now. I found this at an estate sale in Johnson City TN. It is nicely done. It’s 2″ wing tip to wing tip and 5/8″ at the circle. The logo of the First Nations person is topped with an acrylic dome. Base metal, made in China.

1950s Delta Kiddie Wings

I don’t know why I always get the odd ones.  The standard for this late 1950’s Junior Stewardess pin, given out to young girls when they boarded a Delta plane, is at Fly the Branded Skies.  Look under “D” for Delta.  Mine, however, lacks the cardboard backing that came with every kiddie wings, the Delta logo is crooked and the back’s really crudely done.  No hallmark, either.  Bummer.
