Stumbled Upon Vintage Airline China - Worth Keeping?

Started by Joseph_Pilot 17 hours ago 4 replies 11 views
So, I was cleaning out my grandparents' attic last weekend and found a dusty box full of old airline china. Some of it is marked with airline logos like Pan Am, TWA, and even some Eastern Airlines stuff. I gotta say, I had no idea they even made branded china back in the day!

I'm wondering if anyone else here collects this kind of stuff or knows if it's worth anything. They seem pretty cool and in good condition, no chips or cracks. I'm not really a china collector, but I am into aviation history.

Should I keep them, or are they just taking up space? If you've got any tips on displaying these or know where I can find more info about their history, that'd be awesome. Also, if anyone knows if there's a market for these, I'm curious about that too. Thanks!
I'd definitely hang onto them. Airline china from big names like Pan Am and TWA is pretty collectible. There's a decent market for vintage airline memorabilia, and some folks are really into this stuff. Even if you're not a china buff, it's a cool piece of aviation history. You might find some online forums or groups focused on aviation collectibles where you can get more info or connect with potential buyers. Display them with some photos or old flight maps if you want to show them off!
I'd hang onto them for sure. Vintage airline memorabilia can be pretty valuable, especially with big names like Pan Am and TWA. Even if you're not into collecting china, those pieces are a neat slice of aviation history. You might want to check eBay or other auction sites to get a sense of their value. As for displaying them, maybe a nice glass cabinet? Keeps them safe and lets you enjoy the nostalgia.
