Tie clip featuring the F-80 Shooting Star, an early jet fighter that appeared after World War II. KINNEY was a manufacturer that supplied to the US military, and the rounded fuselage shape and the design of the air intakes at the wing roots well represent the design of jet aircraft from this era. Small blue decorative glass, reminiscent of navigation lights, is embedded at the wingtips, adding a subtle accent to the military elements. ◆Size Length 3.4cm (narrow size to match the width of 50's ties) ◆Condition The metal parts show signs of aging appropriate for a vintage item, but it is in a condition suitable for wearing and display. #Military #Aircraft #America #VintageTiepins #AviationCollectibles #F80ShootingStar #ColdWarEra #USAirForce #JetAgeDesign #ProvidenceRI #MilitaryStyleAccessories #MidcenturyMenswear #PilotGift #AviationHistory
