Scarce vintage Pan American World Airways commemorative paper napkin celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the first U.S. commercial jet service.
The silver foil design features a Pan Am Boeing 707 Jet Clipper America and reads:
Jet Clipper America
New York Paris Oct. 26, 1958
25th Anniversary
First U.S. Commercial Jet Service
Boeing Pratt & Whitney
This commemorates Pan Am’s historic October 26, 1958 Boeing 707 service from New York to Paris, an important milestone in American commercial aviation and the beginning of Pan Am’s jet age.
The 25th anniversary was celebrated in 1983, when Pan Am recreated the historic New York to Paris flight using a Boeing 707 specially returned to 1958 style Clipper America markings.
An unusual piece of Pan Am, Boeing 707 and commercial aviation memorabilia. I have not seen many examples of this commemorative napkin offered individually.
Condition: Vintage original with age and storage wear. The napkin has folds and creases from storage. There are also a couple of small brownish age or storage spots/blemishes on the reverse as shown clearly in the photos. Silver foil graphic remains attractive and displays well. Please examine all photos carefully for exact condition.
This item came from a collection of vintage Pan Am brochures, pamphlets and other airline memorabilia.
Excellent addition to a Pan Am, Boeing 707, airline, aviation history or Jet Age collection.
Sold exactly as pictured.
