Gold Filled Airplane Pin Gifted by Glenn Curtiss - This gold filled figural airplane pin is identified by family provenance as a gift from aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss.

The pin is crafted from gold filled metal with a polished surface. The reverse is equipped with a hinged pin and a traditional C-clasp mechanism. No maker marks or hallmarks are visible on the metal. Length: 2.25 inches. The pin is in good vintage condition. There is visible surface wear, minor scratching, and a significant darkened patina across both the front and back surfaces consistent with age. The pin and clasp are in functional condition.
