all the pics i have. original? thank you

 

 

Looks period to me.

This looks good, I've had a few and I would feel okay buying this one 

Just to say "ditto", but to maybe add some more discussion to the mix.  I have seen at least 2 versions: a flat back and a "divot" or hollow back (like this one).  GENERALLY speaking, the versions with the hollow or divot are mostly vintage (IMHO).  Another thing is the cammed pin and hinge.  That is also a good sign. But some of the other versions have the type of pin and hinge that you would normally see on a Lampl or Bell made wing.

While there are a fair number of fakes, those badges almost always TEND to be of the flat back type. But take this with a grain of salt, as many good wings were also flat back types.

 

Its rare to find hallmarks on these ATC wings, although the ones with the WH in a shield (Whitehead and Hoag) are often the ones faked.  But then again, there are some WH-marked wings that I feel are good....

These wings also show up in a variety of finishes that further muddy the waters.

 

But as the other fellows say, these wings don't give me heartburn

Visit Bob's site and there are a number of good threads on this forum on ATC wings.
