Description

The L-1049 Super Constellation aircraft was in service at Eastern Airlines from 1951 – 1968.  When I started working for Eastern in 1965 we had several in service, mostly on the Air Shuttle which was operated between Washington National, New York’s La Guardia and Boston airports.  It was a most graceful airplane!   This model is from the 1950’s .  It is all original and probably sat on an executive’s desk.   It has a tray on the base and “Constellation” in raised letters on the front of the tray, the letters “Eastern” on decal transfer on the support.   The wing span is 10”, it is 8 ½” long and 8” high.
