Item Description
Following Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight, this trio pictured and identified on the button as “Friendship Fliers” with their names across their photo “Lou Gordon-Amelia Earhart-Wilmer Stultz” made the flight from Newfoundland to Wales, United Kingdom. Earhart went along as a passenger although given the job of keeping the flight log. Interviewed after landing she said “Stultz Did All The Flying. Had To. I Was Just Baggage, Like A Sack Of Potatoes.” One of only 2 buttons we know of to picture her. Button is a souvenir of the massive ticker tape parade the crew received upon their return to New York. Scattered tiny age marks on very outer edge. Only one shows much- a 1/8" brown dot on top edge. Complete with "Cammall Badge/Boston" backpaper that has minor wear. Our example in Auction #199 exceeded $350.00. Rare. Comes with Hake's COA.
