Vintage Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant Wings 2.5\" Badge Clutchback For Sale

This stunning 2.5-inch vintage Southwest Airlines flight attendant wing pin features a brilliant gold-tone finish detailed with a blank top name-scroll bar and the airline's iconic bright red enamel "LUV" heart center emblem, securely backed by a dual-clutchback. Famously established in 1971 by Herb Kelleher and Rollin King, Dallas-based Southwest Airlines shook up the aviation industry from its headquarters at Love Field, initially serving a tight Texas triangle connecting Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio before rapidly expanding into a nationwide low-cost powerhouse. The legendary "LUV" theme defined the brand's identity and culture, which was proudly personified by early stewardesses and flight attendants who originally wore this heart-centered insignia alongside their famously energetic and casual inflight service. Navigating heavily trafficked short-haul routes that grew to span coast-to-coast, Southwest's cabin crews served passengers exclusively aboard an all-Boeing mainline fleet—flying variations from the vintage Boeing 737-200 and 737-300 to modern Next-Generation 737-700 aircraft—making this pristine insignia an exceptional piece of commercial airline history.

The wings are in great condition. Please see photos for condition.
