Vintage Howard Hughes Flying Boat Brass/Bronze Collectible Belt Buckle

"The Hughes H-4 Hercules (commonly known as the Spruce Goose; registration NX37602) is a prototype strategic airlift flying boat designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company. Intended as a transatlantic flight transport for use during World War II, it was not completed in time to be used in the war. The aircraft made only one brief flight, on November 2, 1947, and the project never advanced beyond the single example produced." (Wikipedia) This buckle was made for men are interested in historical aviation transportation. Please zoom in and check out all photos for the detailed wording and design of the Spruce Goose. It is marked on the back 1981 Age of Bronze, BA 164. There is typical but very light wear from age and use on the raised areas of the front. It is meant to use with a standard 1 5/8” belt. The buckle Is 3 1/4" wide by 2 1/8" tall. A cool collectible buckle for the sectors of World War II, aviation, and the invention of the Flying Boat. Enjoy! **New to Poshmark?
