TA-1047 Rare 8 x 10 embroidered flour sack craft,

table covers, parasols and in this case some type of trivet
or object to pick up a hot pan. It is quilted . Very rare to
find. See the equipment section to see examples of the sacks
as they were shipped. $225 |

TA-1045 Fantastic panel removed from the side of
an Aircraft from one of the most famous WWI Aviation Films.
This panel comes from the N28, the "Hero" mount of Errol
Flynn (coded with letter "N") in the movie. While it didn't
actually fly, there are numerous scenes where we can see
Flynn climbing in and out of the plane and the plane taxiing
with Flynn inside (probably being pushed on the ground).
Used in the movies were WWI Nieuport 28's (4 of them) owned
by the movie aviator Garland Lincoln/Paul Mantz. This was
the last movie (except for one of them) these planes
appeared in, so it still retains the movie camouflage from
1938 (although worn after 70 years). After the movie, they
resided in storage at Orange County airport, and eventually
they were sold by Mantz/Tallman and went to different
private collectors.
This particular panel was from the
N28 restored in the UK in the 90's, flown for awhile, and
now on display at the Army Air Force Museum. As seen in the
pictures, the panels were on the bare shell of the plane
before being removed for the restoration of the plane. This
piece measures 18" x 27". $1250
