    Description

    UP FOR BIDS IS THIS RARE AND ORIGINAL AVIATOR AIRPLANE PROPELLER PIN ONCE USED AND WORN BY ECCENTRIC BILLIONAIRE AND STUDIO HEAD HOWARD HUGHES. THIS ITEM WAS OBTAINED BY MY UNCLE WHO WORKED AS A STAGE HAND IN HOLLYWOOD FOR OVER FORTY YEARS AT MANY OF THE MAJOR MOVIE AND TELEVISION STUDIOS. HE WOULD OFTEN COLLECT DISREGARDED OR NO LONGER USED ITEMS AFTER PRODUCTION OR FILMING WAS COMPLETED OR WHEN ITEMS WERE REPLACED.....THIS WAS ONE SUCH ITEM. WHEN MY UNCLE DIED I RECIEVED MANY, MANY BOXFULLS OF HIS THINGS FROM HIS DAYS IN HOLLYWOOD WHICH I WILL SLOWLY BE LISTING HERE. THIS ITEM WAS FOUND PACKED AWAY AMONG HIS THINGS ALONG WITH A NOTE DESCRIBING ITS ORIGINS. THE PIN IS IN NICELY KEPT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE....PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES ONE OF MY UNCLE ON A SET BACK IN THE 1960s. HUGHES WAS A DECORATED PILOT AS WELL AS THE OWNER OF RKO STUDIOS FROM 1948-1954. WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.
    NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS.
    PAYMENT EXPECTED WITHIN 48 HRS OF AUCTION CLOSE.
    THE PHOTO OF MY UNCLE IS NOT INCLUDED.
