Vtg Boeing Totem Belt Buckle - Original 1917 Logo - Leather & Brass - El Cid

Vintage Boeing Company belt buckle featuring the ORIGINAL Boeing Totem Logo!

This is Boeing's first company insignia from circa 1917 - the vertical BOEING with outstretched wings / Thunderbird design that Bill Boeing used when he founded the company in Seattle. Before the globe, before the Stratotype - this was the Boeing B.

1970s-80s El Cid made in USA version - gold-tone metal frame with hand-tooled brown leather insert. The BOEING letters are stamped vertically down the center post of the wings.

Perfect for a Boeing retiree, current employee, pilot, or aerospace collector. Nice Seattle history piece from the Everett / Renton / Seattle plants era. Would make a great retirement gift.
