A very unusual set of silver plated flatware from National Airlines. The basic pattern is well-known, however it is more commonly seen with no topmark, and the word "National" stamped on the reverse. These items are decorated with a single, five-pointed star, and inside the star is the letter "N." We believe this design was likely placed into service with the advent of National's DC-6 "Star" service, inaugurated in 1949. Quite unusual, and in extremely fine condition. Great memorabilia from the "Airline of the Stars."

We believe this flatware by THC to have been manufactured for National as it is so clearly marked "NAL," including the knife blade. Stainless steel with a textured crosshatch pattern on the handles.

International Silver Co. manufactured this silver plated bread tray for Northwest Airlines in 1968. Excellent condition, showing only some small dings along the bottom edge and rim as one might expect. Plating excellent. Stamped "NWA" on the reverse. Another "ready-for-your-table" item!

A nice three piece setting of silver-plated flatware from Northwest. The logo which appears was in use during the 1960's. The knife in this particular setting is a bit narrower and lighter than those we have seen bearing the same logo, so we must assume it to be a later item. Showing minor signs of use and table wear- the finish on the knife handle shows some minor pitting, but is otherwise very good. Getting hard to find!

Gorgeous china from Noritake for Pan Am, in a pattern referred to as "Presidential," "President," or "President's Special." The pattern features an eagle in gold, encircled by a ring of thirteen light blue-grey stars. A matching blue-grey line decorates the rim. Used in cabin service in the late 1950's through the early 1960's. High-quality china, and exceptionally attractive!

A very nice example of the Pan Am "President Special" menu. The menu covers featured a series of famous clipper ships, with the vessel's history described on the reverse. The menu selection was printed on a separate sheet of parchment, and bound to the cover with a gold silk cord. The cord has pulled slightly into the spine on this example, otherwise excellent condition.

The plated finish is excellent. A great Pan Am item for your table!

A very unusual swizzle from Saturn Airways! Whatever one chose to spear with this fork-end pick would certainly stay impaled, as the tines have rather dangerous looking serrated edges! The airline's name and logo appears in silver, and is very slightly worn on this example, but clearly visible. A rare one, as swizzles go!

A set of four, double rocks tumblers or "Old Fashioned" glasses with heavily weighted bases, featuring the airline's name. The vertical stabilizer logo replaces the "A" of "Airlines", and "Love That Spirit" beneath. The glasses are in near-mint condition with the exception of what looks like minute scratches 1" below the logo. These appear on each glass, and are absolutely identical in shape and location, in relation to the logo. We must assume that these were caused by the machinery responsible for applying the logo or holding the glasses in place during the process. This is barely noticeable and certainly falls into the category of a manufacturing flaw. However, we thought it best to mention it in our effort to describe every item as completely as possible! Though we have listed these as a set of four, eight are available at the time of listing, and we would be happy to offer you a deal on the entire group!

We were more than thrilled to be able to acquire one dozen of these magnificent Irish damask linen napkins from TWA. Each is unused, measuring 20" x 24", and still bearing a paper "Made in Ireland" label. The design is quite elegant, featuring TWA on an oval globe which is surrounded by an olive wreath and four stars - one would guess indicating "four star" service. This logo is repeated four times in a square formation near center. There is also a 2", solid, bordering band placed 1¼" from the outer edge. We regret that we will be unable to adequately image the fine damask pattern of these beautiful napkins. They are truly magnificent, in perfect condition, and ready for your formal dining room! Priced individually, we will be very happy work with anyone interested in a set of four, six, eight, or the complete set of twelve. Don't let these get away!

A deep, 6" long casserole from Hall, backstamped "UAL". This item is identical in form to the dark blue, top marked casseroles used in the late 1940's and early 1950's. We haven't found a reference to this particular item in this color, but we assume it to be a bit later. The digital image has washed out the color a bit, but the piece is indeed glazed a pastel blue on the exterior - a tone which varies a bit between examples. Condition is near-mint.

A wonderful, three piece set of silver plate flatware from International Silver. These items show use, but are in very nice condition with excellent plating. Classic 1970's design from United. It seems that this basic design was altered slightly over time, the handles becoming slightly broader at the ends, and a bit less tapered. The difference between the two is subtle, but the variation will be noted on the item listing page. Check for odd items as well as sets available in this pattern.
