Default Found in button box
Can anyone identify this old pin, found in old box of buttons? My first assumption was something to do with flight, ie Air Force=Airline (pilot perhaps). I'd really like to know it's history. Thx for looking.

I am thinking maybe an old child's pin from a TV show like Buck Rogers or similar?

Good suggestion...before my time! Did a search for BR memorabilia...had no luck finding anything similar, but, of course, it could be so rare that I have the only one.lol. Thank you for giving me a start..I was clueless. (Still am!)

My brain pulled up "Flash Gordon" from the 50's. Probably not right, but that's all I have.
