A RARE COLLECTIBLE FROM THE "GOLDEN AGE" OF AVIATION IS THIS UNIQUE 1920'S PLATED BOTTLE OPENER/CAPPER BY "SWALLOW AIRPLANE CO. INC", WICHITA, KANSAS. SWALLOW AIRPLANE CO. WAS CREATED IN 1923. CHIEF ENGINEER WAS LLOYD STEARMAN (LATER BECAME PRESIDENT OF LOCKHEED); GENERAL MANAGER WAS WALTER H. BEECH (BEECH AIRCRAFT CO.). THE OPENER IS ENGRAVED WITH A SWALLOW LOOKING AIRPLANE, UNDER WHICH IS, "HANDYCAPPER SWALLOW AIRPLANE CO. INC. WICHITA, KANSAS - U.S.A. PATENTS PENDING". IT MEASURES 6" LONG & 1 3/4" ACROSS. THIS IS A DESIRABLE CROSSOVER COLLECTIBLE FOR BOTTLE OPENER COLLECTORS OR AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS. IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, I THINK YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, JUST A FEW SPOTS WHERE THE PLATING HAS WORN OFF. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
