This vintage tie tack features the classic star-and-wings emblem associated with the U.S. Army Air Forces — a five-pointed star with a central circular medallion, flanked by outstretched feathered wings, mounted on a round disc backing. The piece is finished in silver tone metal. It comes complete with its original short curb chain and bar-style clutch, the traditional mechanism for anchoring a tie tack to the back of a necktie via a shirt button. This is a great piece for a military memorabilia collector, aviation enthusiast, or anyone assembling a vintage menswear accessory collection. No maker's mark was observed on this piece.
