Retro Airline Wings Pins - Any Collectors Here?

Started by JGarcia730 15 hours ago 2 replies 34 views
So, got this thing for airline wings pins from the old days. My dad used to work for Eastern Airlines, and I've got his collection from the 80s. There's something really cool about those little pins, right? I love the different designs and logos, especially from airlines that don't exist anymore.

I know they're not the most valuable collectible, but they're a nice piece of history. I've got some from Pan Am, TWA, and even a couple from Braniff. Thinking about displaying them in a shadow box but not sure how to do it without damaging them.

Anyone else into collecting these? How do you display yours? And if you've got any rare ones, I'd love to hear about them. I'm always on the lookout for unique pieces to add to the collection!
I've got a small collection myself! Mostly from airlines like Pan Am and TWA too. I use a shadow box for display, and to avoid damage, I just pin them through a thick piece of felt or foam board inside the box. It holds them in place pretty well without bending the pins. Have you come across any from airlines like Pacific Southwest or Piedmont? Those are on my wishlist!
