This listing is for a piece of silver-doped linen fabric from the iconic aircraft Spirit of St Louis.This fabric accompanied Charles Lindbergh on his historic first transatlantic flight on May 21, 1927. The fabric measures approximately 1 cm across, and it's been attached to an 8x10" photo for display. This item also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity listing its provenance and including photos matching it to its corresponding artifact.After Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic and landed in Paris, the Spirit of St Louis had to be completely refurbished with a new linen skin before its return to the US. The remains of the old linen were kept for their historical value, and a large section of this fabric was eventually obtained by Ron Cole, the owner of an aviation museum and art gallery in Ohio. This fabric came from a larger piece purchased from Cole.The COA accompanying this item includes photos of the original artifact, along with photos of your specific piece being removed from it.
