Eastern Airlines for Morgans

As I have posted before, I sometimes get bags full of jewelry related odds and ins from local Goodwills. A bag I purchased last week produced something quite interesting.

Along with 1.38 ozt of silver pieces, I found two Eastern Airlines pieces. The set of items is a stewardess hat pin and a stewardess wings pin. Both have the Balfour stamp, are marked 1/10 10K, and have porcelain faces with the blue airplane symbol in on a white background.

It turns out these are the 6th issue and are a bit on the rare side. One piece I saw listed for $295 just sold last night. The other piece, also listed at $295, is still visible at:

I am hoping to turn around $500 to $525 on the Bay and then turn those funds into some Morgan silver dollars.

Just shows that sometimes old 1/10 10K pieces can be worth a lot of silver!
