1950's Vintage Convair B-58 Hustler USAF LIGHTER EMBLEM Genuine! RARE

Description

1950's Vintage Convair B-58 Hustler USAF LIGHTER EMBLEM Genuine! RARE
1 emblem per purchase, others are available while they last.
Vintage, very nice, well preserved condition.
These are NOT pins!
The back is flat, it mounts to lighters by using a little bit of epoxy glue like JB Weld or a clear epoxy 2 part glue. Super glue can hold it too but I have not tried it to know how well or how long it lasts, but epoxy seems to hold forever!
Measures around
5/8" x 7/16", small or tiny size.
Gold plated.
This dates to around 1956 to 1964/1965.
Zippo lighters with similar military emblems sell for a lot more than plain zippo lighters. Instantly increase the value of your lighter with this emblem! It fits any lighter with a flat surface but Zippo I think is the only manufacturer that used these emblems.
This is not a cheap imported Chinese copy, this is a genuine authentic USAF product. Stop buying fakes from China!!!

These emblems were made by an insignia company that would supply military commissaries and when demand was not high enough items like this were boxed and stored for decades until recently being sold as surplus. They are genuine US Military items, at times the buyer had a choice of lighters and emblems for Crest Craft lighters or for a little more money they had the option of Zippo lighters. These items I have listed are rare no matter the quantity I have listed for sale because no other seller has them available, no undercutting company in China mass produces them and no company at this time makes them anywhere around the world.
There are pictures of a lighter and a Quarter coin to show how it looks on a lighter and a size comparison. (The lighter and coin are not included in the sale.) Yes they are a tiny small size, it's the only size ever available though!
The Convair B-58 Hustler is a high speed bomber designed and produced by American aircraft manufacturer Convair. It was the first operational bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The B-58 was developed during the 1950s for the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command.

This is not made by Zippo but these emblems are made for the US Military and that's all that matters. Zippo doesn't know their own history to know about the military using these emblems on their lighters.
