Letter Opener, Lindbergh, King Collection

A silver propeller that rests in a wooden base. The base curves upwards from the front to the back to create a cradle for the propeller. The base has a silver plate on the front with "King" etched into the metal. A silver plate on the back of the base has black lettering that gives the inspiration for the design of the letter opener. The letter opener itself is shaped like the Hamilton Standard propeller that Lindbergh took with him on his 1927 trans-Atlantic flight. Two stickers, one on either blade are shaped like an oval with a black border outside of a gold and red design.
