brandon_rss18 Posted December 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2008 I finally found my Great Cousins wings that I thought I had lost about 6 years ago. My Dad was cleaning out his bottom dresser drawer about 2 months ago, and he called me and told me that he had found his things. I got excited and found out that my Dad had hid them from me so I wouldnt loose them, thats fine and all, if he would have told me about it! LOL Anyways here is what he had, 2 wings both marked sterling, his ID bracelet with small wings on it and some VERY small screwback wings that I have no idea what it was used for. These wings may be common to others, but just by having these in my posession again means more than any price that could put on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMPERIAL QUEST Posted December 7, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2008 Brandon, Very nice family heirlooms you have. @ John- Was this Balfour variant in use at the same time that their other design was available or was the version Brandon shows a replacement/updated design?

brandon_rss18 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted December 8, 2008 Does anyone know how common these are? Im sure they are pretty common but not for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted December 8, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 8, 2008 Brandon, Common is not a word I like to used with LGB becuase their quality so so good. I rather say they are not to hard to find... at least the pilots... some are a bit harder to get. You should try to assemble the 5 basic wings if you like the maker.
